In this course we will study 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 edges, underpaintings and opacity versus transparency.
Students will complete a drawing, grisaille and successive color
passes to bring their piece to a finish. There will be class
discussions, demos and personalized critiques. Prerequisites:
Beginning & Intermediate Oil Supplies: You can bring whatever colors
you’re most comfortable using. All paints should be professional
quality and not student grade. Paint brands to consider are Gamblin,
Michael Harding, Old Holland, Windsor & Newton, Williamsburg, Rublev
or Holbien. Other Supplies: Sable or Synthetic Filbert Brushes in an
assortment of Sizes, such as 0, 2, 4 & 6 (The Rosemary brand of
brushes are ideal. Da Vinci or Windsor & Newton are good too. Just
make sure they're professional grade.) Palette Knife Bar of unscented
Ivory soap for brush cleaning Gamsol Odorless Mineral Spirits & Air
Tight Container Cold Pressed Linseed Oil & Small Container Blue Paper
Towels or Paint Rags Palette (Wood or glass is best. “New Wave”
makes great pallettes) You can bring whatever supports you’re most
comfortable PAINTING ON. I’d recommend having one 8” x 10” or
9” x 12” canvas and one 18” 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. * The larger
canvas size may change depending on your STILL LIFE SETUP.Event
