Special courses with master painter Marco Cavallini:
Trompe l'Oeil level 1: To learn how to trace the painted line is the base of the whole procedure of creating chiaroscuro effects. Learn not to be discouraged by few paint drips and other mishandling. Proper handling of the brush and ruler, exercising the hand and the wrist, will gradually allow for the building up of linear tones and to build visual volume into architectural details such as
mouldings and ornate motifs. After tracing a few lines, confidence will grow in what seemed not so easy at first. |
Trompe l'Oeil class level 1
The first day of the course of Trompe l'Oeil level 1:
Tracing lines on a wall using a liner brush and a ruler. |
Starting to paint lighter shades to give visual depth to an
architectural division of space. |
