The Old Masters and traditional oil painters have turned to the genre of still life painting to develop their skills and hone their sensibilities. Please join us for an intensive day long exploration of the classical still life painting process to discover how these great artists achieved brilliant effects of light, realistic textures, and poetic compositions. We will follow the classical method of painting start to finish, beginning with the creation of a resonate monochrome underpainting foundation of accurate forms and values, followed by a second paint layer of full and varied color to capture a range of luminous effects from the sheen of metallic reflections to nuanced hues of fruit and flowers.
