'Roses' painted in 1893 by Peder Severin Krøyer is housed in The Skagens Museum, Denmark. P. S. Krøyer, was one of the most successful artists of the community known as the Skagen Painters which flourished in Skagen in the north of Jutland in the late 19th century. The Skagen Painters were a close-knit group of mainly Danish artists who gathered each summer from the late 1870s in the fishing village of Skagen in the far north of Jutland, painting the local fishermen and their own family life, gatherings and celebrations. Peder Severin Krøyer (1851–1909), who was born in Stavanger, Norway, but brought up in Copenhagen, first arrived in Skagen in 1882 and returned almost every summer, finally settling there permanently after marrying Marie Triepcke in 1889. The work shows Marie Krøyer, the artist's wife, seated in a deckchair under a large rose bush in the garden of a house they rented in Skagen, with their dog Rap asleep beside her. This absolutely stunning painting, an example for it's impressionist looseness, yet realism, it's high contrast between white roses and a shadowy background, and a figure reclining as a smaller human presence against the, much bigger natural subject of a beautiful rose bush, is something to behold. Look at how those roses have been handled! In this 3 day course, join artist and tutor Alicia Coombs together painting this complex and beautiful master work. We will come to understand: - foreground and background - cadmiums and how to achieve 'black' from mixing up specific colours. 'white' - but is it really white??!! - 'value', a hierarchy of light and dark - The handling of impressionist flowers We look forward to creating together!.....
