SUMMARY:Afternoon with an Artist: Reverse Glass Painting
DESCRIPTION:Reverse glass painting\, or Hinterglasmalerei\, is an art form where the image is painted on the back of a glass sheet and viewed from the front. Popular across Europe\, Asia\, and Senegal since the 16th century\, this technique flourished in the Renaissance with significant production in 18th Century China and India.In this workshop\, participants will learn the unique logic of working in reverse—applying fine highlights and foreground details first\, then layering mid-tones and backgrounds to create a luminous\, protected finished work. We’ll using acrylic paint\, which dries quickly\, and acrylic pens which work on glass. There will also be experimentation with the backgrounds using specialty papers and foils creating shimmering multi-dimensional effects. \nThroughout the session on September 26\, we will examine examples of the history of the craft alongside several contemporary artists such as the atmospheric works of Daniel Karrer and meticulous compositions of Richard Rowan. \nMickey Waring is an art educator\, artist\, and poet. She teaches children and adults\, works in several media\, and has published her poems and an online blog. \n$20/person\, $10/METC members
