Still Life Workshop

Class Description: Join Deirdre Shibano on this painting journey, whether you paint a single “pear”, or a complex composition of a variety of objects. In this class, you can learn how to see the value, how to create and turn the form, how to design a composition, and how to mix colors and note color temperatures, as well as patterns, edges, and brushwork! I will be setting up a variety of scenes with the still-life objects, as well as having individual objects available for you to paint or incorporate. We will start out with an underpainting or thumbnail sketch to work out the composition ahead of time. I will demonstrate different techniques.

I would recommend bringing 2 canvases of different sizes… 11 x 14, and 16×20 in order to create a vertical or horizontal composition.

ALL MEDIUMS ARE WELCOME!
