This class invites all skill levels to slow down and focus on the beauty of the everyday. Through color mixing, value studies, and attention to positive and negative space, we’ll sharpen our observational skills and create paintings in the timeless still life tradition. Each class features short warm-up exercises and longer painting sessions where students can work at their own pace. Each week we’ll stage a new still life with objects provided in class or brought from home, always working directly from life. Instruction focuses on techniques for acrylic painting, with an emphasis on creating both realism and emotional impact. Students are also welcome to work in other mediums if they prefer.
