In this 3 DAY workshop, we’ll dive into the timeless art of still life painting, where you'll sharpen your drawing skills and develop a deeper understanding of composition. We’ll begin by studying individual objects, focusing on how light and shadow bring them to life on the canvas. From there, we’ll explore how to arrange multiple objects in a visually compelling way, guiding you to create a balanced and harmonious composition.
Throughout the class, we’ll discuss perspective and how to use it to enhance depth and realism in your work. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced painter, this workshop offers a chance to refine your technique and gain a greater appreciation for the subtleties of still life art. By the end, you’ll have developed new skills and completed your own still life painting to take home.
