Description
In this class we will explore still-life painting. Students will work with acrylics on canvases. We will experiment with textures, using a palette knife and credit cards to paint with. We will be studying relevant national / international still-life artists and there will be a different real-life composition to paint from each week, including florals, fruits, ceramics and other objects. Elizabeth will spend one-on-one time with each student to encourage their own unique painting style.
A list of materials will be sent to each student. Still Life Impessions – Supply List
Open to all levels, some acrylic painting experience is recommended.
