Painters will enjoy wines and paired
cheeses while
painting a
classic
“Impressionist style” still life each week. The
class format will be informal. Students can work
independently and/or with instructor assistance. Each still life design
will
provoke discussions on the roots and traditions of still life, the
components
of good painting, composition, values, vibrant color and spontaneous,
impressionist brushwork. Share good cheer, commune with fellow artists
and
create an original still life painting “alla prima” (all at once). Open to
oil and acrylic painters. Bring art supplies of
choice. Easels and taborets are provided in studio. There is no
recommended
supply list unless requested. Contact Catherine at adlib@roadrunner.com with
any
questions.
