[Steppes] Scribes Guild - Flemish style painting class, Tuesday

[Ciard49 at aol.com]

Greetings Good Gentles,
 
Tuesday night HE Muireanne will be unable to host Scribes Guild at her  home. 
We all hope she feels much better very soon.
 
At my home, one mile from Muireanne's, I will teach a hands-on  class on the 
early 14th century Flemish painting style with lifelike  flowers, fruits and 
bugs in the borders. This "Fool the Eye" style was seen  in the Champion 
scrolls I made for Warlord this year. 
 
The class will cover how to do the shading under the floating items,  and 
making little splotches for highlights on trees and bushes and flowers  in the 
grass, and how to merely suggest the city on the hill with  impressionistic 
strokes of paint.
 
It will also cover the history and use of this art style, and  it's flower 
symbolism.
 
I will teach this intermediate level class at Kingdom Heraldic and  Scribal 
Symposium.
 
Everyone is welcome whatever your experience level at painting scrolls.  
Please bring a chair you can sit and work in and if anyone has a folding card  
table it would be very welcome.
 
Feel free to bring your own paints and brushes. Students will be given a  
pre-drawn sketch to practice the painting on, and we will look at examples of  
the art style from various sources.
 
If you have any art books with good pictures of this style please bring  them 
as well, I may ask to copy some of them.
 
If you plan to come please email me so I may have enough practice  materials 
for every student.
 
Note -- we are a multi-cat household, with no carpets.
