Transform the quality of your work by painting from life. If you’ve always painted from photos, you are missing the elements that can make your work sing. Once you’ve mastered painting from life, all your work will be enhanced and feel more real – even when working from photos.
Day One Friday – The Art of Still Life:
Fill your work with light and energy and hone your skills, by painting a still life. Set-up and paint a well-constructed composition featuring favorite objects you have brought. Bring a favorite vase, cut melon, onions, lemons, fruit, pastries, bird’s nest, copper vessel or favorite fresh flowers or foliage – whatever inspires you to paint! You will learn how to set up and light your objects to create a mood and make an exceptional painting.
We will discuss the principals of fine art as inspired by the Masters; and have lively discussions about values, hard and soft edges, transparent vs. opaque color, focal point, brushwork, palette knife and more. There will be an instructor demo and lots of individual attention. Some props will be provided.
Day Two Saturday – The Art of Painting Flowers
Build on what you’ve learned about still life and add the beauty of flowers to your painting. Learn to block in and capture the gesture and essence of this beautiful, but fleeting subject. – Discover how light creates form and so much more! Bring a favorite vase, container or pitcher , objects that inspire your to paint, and fresh flowers and foliage (they may be cut or in pots.)
We will discuss floral painting art as inspired by the Masters; and have discussions about values, hard and soft edges, transparent vs. opaque color, focal point, brushwork, palette knife and more. There will be an instructor demo and lots of individual attention. Some Garden Roses will be provided.
For each day, lights, stands and backdrop stations and some props are provided. A materials list is found on my website: www.pnewellart.com.
