Inspired by the still life painting of the masters, this course will cover the essential skills needed to achieve luminosity and depth with paint. Students will find their advances made in this course will not only produce beautiful still-lives but will carry over to their other paintings of portraits and figurative work as well. The class consists of lectures and demonstrations, starting with the conceptual design of the painting to observing and translating the objects into lustrous paint. Understanding the structure of a painting and manipulating paint, brilliant light, supple color and purposeful edge variations an artist can tell a story and create a distinguished piece of art.
