Still Life Painting

Adult Classes | Available

Paint the best painting you can, with Sharon guiding you to become a “director” of your own painting. Just as Stephen Spielberg directs a great movie, an exceptional painting needs to have a primary, secondary and tertiary focus. Sharon will focus on instructing you in the lessons that have been passed down by the old masters. Flowers and fruit will be paired with interesting objects, and we will paint them in compelling dramas of light and shadow. Our focus will be design, values, color and edges. Various concepts will be demonstrated during a portion of each class.
