Using the kitchen as inspiration, join British painter Michael Weller for this 4-week class painting from life at home. The kitchen has inspired many artists, including British painters John Bratby and Jean Cooke, who once tenderly painted a shopping bag on a table.
Michael will guide you in this exploration of capturing the everyday as subject matter, from starting with the selection of the composition and addressing the management of relative sizes, to showing how to deal with lights and darks. It’s less about the finished painting and more about discovering different ways of working. More fun than that sounds, discover that it’s also about enjoying the painting process. The hope is that by the end of this exploration the students’ work will still be their own, but their drawing will be stronger and their use of colors clearer. Class will include in-depth critiques of student work and instructor demonstrations.
