This class will offer academic training within the subject of your choice and using the medium of your choice. You can bring materials from home to set up a small still-life or use the simple still-life items available in the studio. You can also paint from a photograph or copy a portrait of a famous artist. During the class, students will share their painting with the group and I will provide constructive feedback as well as answer any questions at that time. We will discuss many elements of painting such as value, design, composition, and color. The first day I’ll review the objectives of this class and I will also do a demonstration of a still life.
