Watercolor Pigment Workshop; An Exploration in Pigment-Making
Sunday 11.17.24, 1PM - 3PM
Be Just Classroom, 2415 Ivy Road, Charlottesville VA
Join us for a Tempera Pigment Workshop in the Be Just Classroom. Globally-recognized artist Michelle Gagliano will lead participants through the practice of creating egg tempera pigments. Michelle will give the class an overview of the processes and principles of sustainable pigment making, share her own techniques adapted from the Masters like DaVinci, and provide instruction and materials for each participant to create a palette of egg-based tempera pigments.
All necessary materials will be provided, and participants will take home artwork created in the class and tempera pigment recipes for further practice.
About the Instructor:
Michelle Gagliano has permeated the American art scene with extensive solo exhibitions and curated group shows throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Gagliano's accolades are extensive, including the coveted Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowship and innovative, collaborative projects with symphonic musicians and published authors. Her works continue to be curated into major private and corporate collections, both within the United States and abroad. In the summer of 2018, Gagliano eliminated all toxic materials from her practice, introducing instead ground pigments, oils and solvents based in nuts and lavender, and handmade gessoes. It is not lost on her that this replicates what Leonardo DaVinci, Raphael, and other Masters used in their time.
