Still Life

Oil Painting Workshop

$450.00 

 

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

This workshop is for students who are serious about advancing their skills of observation and want to understand how to use their palette to its full advantage.  Laura will explain and show through demonstration studies how certain effects of light and depth can be achieved.  She will also try to help identify materials or procedures a student may be using that are getting in the way of progress.  She will discuss composition, technique, principles of light and shade and a range of other painting related topics.  Almost all of the lessons will apply to any medium or subject matter but the focus will be specific to still life in oil.  Demonstrations will be done with the intent of illustrating how to handle specific problems, rather than producing an entire finished painting.  Students will also be encouraged to adopt a similar attitude with an emphasis on learning and study.
