In this workshop students will learn the fundamentals of how to create a still life painting from direct observation. During the course of 5 sessions, each student will do a still life painting of their setup using a direct method of painting (alla prima). Some topics that will be discussed will be: composition, drawing, light, color theory, form, depth, edges and how to work a narrative into your work. Materials will be discussed as needed (paints, brushes and board/canvas).
Please bring your own materials and also a setup that interests you. Also, keep the setups simple, 2-4 objects max. The instructor will mostly give individual critiques working one on one with each student. Students of all levels are welcome.
