Still-Life has long been considered a starting point for fine artists—a vehicle for learning the fundamentals of painting. However, still-life can also present to the advanced artist a myriad of complex problems. This class will delve into the fundamentals as well as the more complex issues in setting up and creating dramatic still-life paintings. Topics discussed will include setup, design, form, chiaroscuro, value, color concepts, edges, brushstroke, and more. The workshop will also include a full instructor demonstration.
