sample class Acrylic Still Life:

 

 

 

 

 

 

ACRYLIC STILL LIFE

 

This class will complete one painting of either a floral arrangement in vase or fruit on tabletop within 4 - 6 hours.

One session painting provides the basics of the compositional elements used in this still life painting. Setting up and painting quickly is a good way to move through the whole painting process. This will be good training for producing larger paintings later on.

 

The following will be covered:

 

   Setting up your still life, and using a still life box

   Working from a photograph

   Choosing paint colors

   Choosing brushes, canvas & palette

   Finding focal point

   Blocking out large shapes

   Mixing colors

   Canvas coverage

   Shadows, detail, highlights 

 

A supply list will be provided to all students prior to 1st class
