Description:
Simple objects transform to tell a story in paint.
An introduction to composing and executing a Still Life painting using 19th-century classical realist methods. This 3-day workshop covers the basics of learning how to use the sight-size method, a classical drawing & painting technique, to set up objects, compose and execute a simple still life painting. Compositions will be inspired by classical 17th-19th century paintings, using natural light and a simple array of objects. Each day will focus on the step-by-step development of a small (no bigger than 30x50cm in size) painting with a simple composition. Demos will be given at the start of each day to show the process and discuss materials, paint mixing, and painting techniques. In addition to demonstrations, students will receive one-on-one critiques and instruction from Hannah throughout the day.
Though this workshop will focus on the practical use of a method to support your artistic practice, the aim is also to appreciate the beauty of everyday objects and the joy of translating them in paint.
Beginning – Intermediate – Advanced levels welcome.
