Painting still-life is a wonderful way to hone your painting skills and is a foundational tool for painting all subjects, including landscapes and figures.
In this 3-day class, you will explore light, color, three-dimensional form, hard and soft edges, creating depth in the picture plane, and composition. The instructor, gallery artist Joanne Geisel, will provide exercises in color theory and color mixing, give demonstrations, and offer both individual and group instruction.
Though Joanne will demonstrate in oil, this workshop is designed for oil and acrylic painters of all levels!
