Hong Kong Workshop March 9,10,11 2010

To be notified of any future workshops in China, please sign up on Barry's Asia Workshop list
This is a three-day workshop in Hong Kong. It will be held in the studio (in an industrial building in Kowloon), and we will focus on studio painting from photographs.

We will focus on the process of developing a studio painting, from initial studies and planning to the final painting. I will show you how to integrate linear compositional studies to plan eye movement and focal areas to make your paintings more interesting, notan studies to select an interesting dark/light harmony and give strength to your design, and color notan to plan a beautiful color harmony.

For those of you interested in figure work, we will look at how to do figure and portrait studies to prepare you for the final painting.

I will also go over the painting process to show you the most efficient way of building up a painting in the studio. For past students I will also take a look at the work you have done since your previous workshop and review it for you.

What Is The Weather in Hong Kong in October, What shall I wear?

One of the best months to visit Hong Kong, the city’s normal humidity is low, and the skies are clear and blue, while the constant sunshine makes October in Hong Kong a good month to explore the city. Many Hong Kongers consider October and November as Hong Kong’s summer months, as the temperature is lower, and people go to Hong Kong’s beaches and hiking trails. Generally this is a good month for outdoor activities. There are occasionally still very wet days from a passing typhoon. If it does rain it tends to rain at night. October in Hong Kong is also full of wildlife, as the northern hemispheres birds take a breather on their way to warmer climes in the south. The temperature is around 25C-30C. You should bring cotton T shirts and a light cardigan or jacket for air conditioning. Do not bring too much because you might like to do some shopping here. T-shirts about HK$30-50. Jacket about HK$80-100. Umbrella is about HK$20.
