Self-portrait by Prof Phil
Grisaille study by Mantra Cor
The teaching methods of Prof. Phil & Mantra combines preparation with a natural, intuitive execution, enabling each artist to develop their own unique visual language. Such a process can lead to expand creative courage, and wholehearted experiences of trusting yourself and your own internal guidance. Prof. Phil and Mantra do not believe in a "one-size fits all" approach and students never end up painting even remotely like one another, nor the teachers.

Grisaille painting ( a French word meaning 'gray’ and pronounced 'griz-EYE') is done when an artist uses a limited palette related to one color like gray or sepia to create a painting's first layer, called the underpainting, or even a finished work which produces a 3D effect. These ash tone values can range from dark to light, transparent to opaque, flat to reflective, and sometimes from warm to cool. The artist develops the image by building up shadows, highlights and details to produce a desired contrast. Grisaille results in a detailed image that looks like a carefully rendered marble statue lacking any color. During the week, working alongside Prof Phil and Mantra, using a methodical, step-by-step process, the teachers will guide each student in learning a unique and practical approach to Grisaille. Using ink, graphite, casein, a particular selection of oil color, Liquin and Resin-oil based mediums, this approach will enable you to complete your work seemingly at the speed of light..
As an option, to embellish and bring your portrait into the realm of the visionary, Mantra will also offer ways to construct various backgrounds with decalcomania in Black and White, and other means, allowing for a spontaneous and intuitive approach between realism and abstraction to create a strong portrait. The work in grisaille may be created as an independent finished work, but it can also be employed as a preliminary underpainting for a piece that is subsequently overpainted with layers of color glaze. For this reason we have added a second section (Workshop 2) for those who wish to continue on in color after completing their Grisaille. Artwork can then be glazed with multiple complementary layers of transparent and opaque color for amazingly dimensional paintings
About Workshop # 2: 5 Days
"A Color Theory Workshop for applying Skin Tones and Color Glazing to Grisaille” &
For those who want to Improve their Understanding of Color / Non-Grisaille Painting
Mon-Fri, 9:30 am - 12:30 pm and 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm,

For students of Grisaille; now that we have established a firm foundation, we are ready to move on to learning more about values, and why they are important. You will work on the grisaille painting completed in Workshop 1. You will learn the difference between value and intensity. This underpainting was a way for the old masters to render gorgeous imagery with large tonal ranges. We will include a crash course on skin tones, and a tutorial in the art of glazing. The techniques of Grisaillellowed by Glazes have a long history in painting methodologies from Leonardo to Ingres. These techniques have proven invaluable to artists in depicting the strengths and subtleties of illumination. In addition, the sound understanding of tonal values provides an essential foundation for color structure.
For Non-Grisaille painters we will work very individually on a painting or two that you bring in which you are at a bit of a loss as to what to do next with color, or to navigate the piece to the next stage, or even completion. With guidance from Prof Phil and Mantra you will beautifully breathe new life and spirit into a less-liked work. Using creative color action to revive a painting back to life and making it relevant is a brilliant course of creative action and far better than allowing it to molder in a studio, basement or attic. Beginning again with selected imagery and a foundation already in place is a great way to initiate new directions to follow. Feel free to bring several pieces to work on !
