GRADATIONS AND SHADING LOGIC IN MOSAIC ART
HAVE YOU TRIED USING SHADING IN YOUR MOSAICS & FOUND IT CHALLENGING?
Perhaps the gradation wasn’t as smooth as you expected, or the difference in colors was too great?
Building gradations and shading objects in mosaics is different from when shading with the paint or pencils. Because of the tessera size the steps in shading and gradation tend to be greater, which can result in abrupt changes in the tonal values. How to make it all work to benefit your mosaic composition?
In this workshop you will learn how to create optical effects with tesserae to make transitions between different shades smooth and more gradual. We will start by working with different shades of the same color and then move on to transitions made in different colors. This type of gradations could be applied to representational work, such as flower petals or landscapes, and abstract pieces. We will also discuss thin-set tinting options and how the interstice space contributes to successful gradients. Throughout the workshop, you will make several small dry-laid samples to practice your techniques before attempting a final 8”x10” project. We will work with stained glass. Students are also welcome to bring their own smalti or other tesserae that have a range of tone.
