Saturday September 19 and Sunday, September 20, 2015
9:30am-4:30pm
This workshop will focus on drama in still life. How to turn simple props – pots, fruit, flowers, baskets – into compelling dramas of light and shadow. The focus will be on showcasing the significant and modifying or obscuring the less meaningful.
We will be exploring how to create effects with paint strokes, palette knife swipes and rag swoops. How to, in other words, make the canvas not only a depiction of observed reality, but also a celebration of abstract paint beauty.
Still life is not only a worthy subject in its own right, but it can also provide vital learning skills for all other genres. Landscape, portrait, interior and figure. Each of these is made easier by a deep familiarity with the art of the still life.
Materials list will be provided.
Though other mediums are welcome, the workshop will only be taught with, and demonstrated in, oils.
