Elements of Persian Miniature Painting: Clouds
Chinese influence on Persian miniature painting manifests itself most clearly in wild, brightly coloured clouds. In these paintings, the air comes alive with spiraling forms. This course will focus on the spiral constructions of clouds and stylised cloud motifs or bulut.
To begin, your tutor will discuss the context and history of this fascinating world. You will then learn practical steps for starting a miniature painting, including: how to burnish paper, ink the design, and transfer the design to prepared paper. The next phase of the course focuses on materials and tools for painting, and how they are used. There will be specific practise exercises to develop brush handling and techniques. Students will then move on to painting their own miniature clouds and using colour combinations. By the end of this course, you'll have your own miniature painting and knowledge of key techniques.
