Wonderful still lifes are all around us, once we start looking. In this class we will find still life in places we perhaps hadn’t thought to look: a cluttered kitchen table, a pile of laundry, an art space with tubes of paint and scattered brushes. Finding these scenes takes a little practice, but liberates us from rigid still life setups with perfect lighting, and can result in poignant, personal and relatable paintings.
Each class will include demonstrations, power point type slideshows and critiques of your work from the previous week. Assignments will involve drawing and painting, and we will discuss design, shape, value and color.

Alison Barry is a Southern Maryland-based plein air oil painter who paints the fields, farms, boat yards and waterways around her home near the Chesapeake. She is dedicated to painting from life, but believes in the artist’s power to rearrange, exaggerate or edit reality in furtherance of the painting. She is more interested in creating an interesting arrangement of shapes, values, patterns and textures on her canvas than replicating the scene in front of her. Alison has won awards in numerous exhibitions and plein air competitions, among them Best Architectural at Gloucester Plein Air Invitational 2026, first place in Modern Impressionist Magazine’s October/November 2024 Salon and an award of merit in American Impressionist Society’s 25th Annual National Exhibition, and has been featured in Plein Air Magazine and Modern Impressionist Magazine.
