I will be demonstrating the painting of a still life in pastel.

Guests should enter through Gate 3 (Aragon at Moulton Parkway) and tell the guards they are going to the Art Association meeting in Clubhouse 3.  Note: There is a guest fee of $1.50.

Painting the still life can be an end in itself or one of the best tools for developing important skills for painting any subject in any medium. In this two day workshop, students will learn to compose a still life starting with the arrangement of shapes into a beautiful underlying abstract design. From there, we will slowly bring still life to life, manipulating values, color and edges. Students will have the opportunity to observe a demonstration in soft pastel and to produce one to two small paintings over the course of two days.  As the workshop is principles-based rather than about a specific technique, students may choose to work with their own photos if they prefer and in any medium of their choice.  Some drawing and painting experience is helpful.  Class limit:  12 students
