STILL LIFE

July 19 & 20
10-5pm both days

Still life work brings a variety of aesthetic challenges together! Composition, color, rhythm, drawing, relationships, focus, depth of field - so many ways to engage with representational art.

Mini workshop intensive will focus on developing still life artwork from life / observation. Students can bring in their own objects or choose from a selection at the studio. We will begin with a lecture on the important components of good painting design, and then use the still life genre as a method for implementation of key concepts. Discussion topics will focus on good drawing, color control, composition, edges, and efficiency.

Feedback and personal demos will be offered throughout the weekend. The possibility to extend your work into Monday will be offered, if needed.
