Recorded in October 2021, this talk provides an introduction to the basics of veil painting in the method of Liane Collot d’Herbois. This technique involves building up successive layers of transparent watercolor, with each layer drying before the next is applied. This is a rare opportunity to view paintings from a variety of artists who have used this technique to achieve their own vision and style. 

Although it can stand on its own, the talk was originally given as a foundation for a Zoom workshop in learning the essential aspects of veil painting. This intensive workshop is now available by recording.

• Three 2 ¼ hour sessions, with background information, relevant slides, up-close demonstrations, dialog with participants. You can work along with the class or at your own pace.
• Includes 9 comprehensive handouts and notes for each class. Since there is so little written about veil painting technique, these are an invaluable source of clear information and on-going support as you develop your practice.
  

Topics covered:

• Essential aspects of both color and painting
• Basics of watercolor materials and technique
• Understanding different kinds of boundaries
• How to do a wash (or veil) with watercolor; creating different types of washes
• Building up a color atmosphere
• Understanding how colors change in the atmosphere
• Experiencing the essential concept of Color Space 
• Techniques for bringing in form arising out of the world of color—instead of the other way around!
