In this 6-week course, we will discover Caravaggio’s (1571-1610) painting methods and techniques, and how he combined close physical observation with the dramatic use of chiaroscuro by copying and reproducing a selection of his paintings.

Caravaggio vividly expressed crucial moments and scenes, often featuring violent struggles. He worked rapidly with live models, preferring to forgo drawings and work directly onto the canvas. His inspiring effect on the new Baroque style that emerged from Mannerism was profound. His influence can be seen directly or indirectly in the work of Peter Paul Rubens, Jusepe de Ribera, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and Rembrandt.

Each class will include demonstrations – guiding you in detail through the painting process, and discussion about oil painting method and techniques.
