Painting with pigments with Charlotte von Ohnesorge

Attention: Please ask Ms. von Ohnesorge whether participation in English is possible.

 

In this workshop, we will be working directly with pure pigments. Artists have been painting with red ochre, green earth and ochre since ancient times. What is fascinating about painting with pigments is how the pure colours – applied directly to the paper – can be blended into smooth or grainy strokes, spread like a powdery dusting, or built up into rich, opaque areas. We will use pure pigments (in small pieces or ground), pastel chalks (solid or loose), binders – all carefully measured – and water. A wide range of techniques is possible. The precious pigments reveal their full potential, sometimes creating unexpected effects. This process can be incorporated into and utilised in the artwork. The workshop is suitable for beginners and those with some experience.
