Elements of Still Life - Karen Winslow (Painting Workshop)
Description: Under-paintings with a Limited Palette. This is a still life painting class from life (not photographs) emphasizing painting in mass, composing in rhythms, and understanding the 5 planes of light. Value relationship, spatial relationship, form, temperature, edges and keeping the painting moving towards a unified harmonious light effect will be practiced. For those who have taken the Still Life Primer, this is the next logical step. We will be using our gray scale with limited or muted color to do an under-painting, focusing on form and light first and color second. Once an under-painting has dried, the artist can “tweak” the color or atmosphere by adding glazes or scumbling , which we will address in the next workshop, Elements of Still Life Painting 2. This class is suitable to all levels, and I paint along side of my students demonstrating and explaining the “how” and “why” of artistic principles that make a painting read as an illusion of light, form, space and depth.
Dates: Saturday & Sunday, February 2 & 3, 9am - 4pm
Fees: $200 for Members, $225 for Nonmembers
