Supply List

In this immersive four-week course, you’ll learn the art of painting still lifes with a fresh approach. We’ll explore the essential concepts of color, value, and edges, and go beyond by embracing the creative process of “wrecking” a painting—intentionally disrupting your work—then rebuilding it. This method encourages experimentation, helping you find a unique balance between realism and abstraction and resulting in artwork with a truly painterly feel.

Each week features:

  • A live demonstration focusing on a key technique.

  • A lecture designed to deepen your understanding of painting principles.

  • Group critiques that offer personalized feedback to support your growth.

Whether you’re looking to energize your style or push your creative boundaries, this class provides the structure and inspiration to advance your skills and develop a more expressive approach to still life painting.
