Faux sky painting,
the representation of the infinite
They have fascinated humans since the dawn of time: celestial vaults, stormy skies, fantastic gleams.
The representation of the sky has evolved over time with, for example, the understanding of perspective, which
allowed it to appear at the as an integral part of elegant architecture and as a presentation of the consciousness of the infinite.
From church vaults to theatrical backgrounds, from small-scale model to full-size grandeur, the mastery of various styles of faux sky painting, based on precise and studied plans, plays an important part in satisfying even the most demanding tastes.

Program
A slide show will present a survey of the different styles of sky painting. The course is based on the assemblage of a collection of images, then on the choice of elements to make a coherent whole.
Afterwards, you will create a color sketch, then a full-size sample in the chosen medium (acrylic or oil). Step by step, you will learn how to create the illusion of a fading cloud by making, in addition to an individual panel, a copy of a Tiepolo sky and a ceiling painting from the 19th century.
