Supply List

As the old saying goes, one must stop and smell the roses to gain an appreciation of life. We can apply this philosophy to art by painting common everyday objects in simple, elegant, and thoughtful ways. In this workshop we will cover:

• Mixing, calibrating, and applying colors in realistic still life paintings,
• Blending and layering acrylic techniques specific to painting realistic still life,
• Simplifying and rearranging objects to create painting compositions with more thought-provoking narratives,
• How to balance hard and soft edges effectively,
• How to paint details in light and shadow to make your still life come alive.

We will produce 2 paintings in this class. You can create paintings using the same references as Wayne’s demo or create paintings from your own references. More advanced students are encouraged to create paintings using their own reference.

This class will include painting demos, student work feedback sessions, slideshow presentations, and eye training exercises. These combinations of activities are designed to help refine your acrylic painting techniques and observation skills.
