Workshops

Please contact the Southern Vermont Center for the price of the workshop and for registration.

 The goal of this workshop is to make still life come alive. We will start with a discussion of the palette and a demonstration of how to begin a painting. Critiques will cover the representation of form through light, shade, and atmosphere as well as value control, the use of color, and aspects of drawing. Traditional methods and techniques will be demonstrated; there will also be discussion of the abstract elements within a realistic painting. All levels, from beginner to advanced, are welcome. Several still lifes will be available to paint; those who want to bring their favorite things to paint are welcome to do so. Students are encouraged to work at their own pace. The instructor will work alongside the students demonstrating when necessary.
