In this course we will learn the art of still life painting. Students will learn about composition and how to stage a cluster of objects to create a successful still life arrangement. We will cover a number of topics such as lost and found edges, overlap, color and value and the fall of light. Students will start with a block-in drawing before completing a poster study. They will then execute an underpainting and then build up layers of painting to bring their piece to a finish. There will be class discussions, demos and personalized critiques.
Prerequisites: None. Beginning Drawing is suggested.

You can bring whatever supports you’re most comfortable painting on. I’d recommend having a few surfaces that measure 6” x 8”, 9” x 12” and 17” x 24.” These can be panels made of wood or aluminum or stretched canvas. All surfaces should either be oil primed or sealed with 3 coats of acrylic gesso. All surfaces should be free of texture and sanded to a smooth finish.
9” x 12” Panels (wood, aluminum DiBond, or mounted canvas is fine. Panels should be oil primed or have at least three coats of acrylic gesso, and be sanded to a smooth finish)
