Still Life Plus in Oils (Personal Painting Projects other than Still Life Also Welcomed)

Tuesdays, April 11 – May 23, 2017, 10:30 am – 1:30 pm (First day of class: demo at 9am), Six sessions. No class on May 9. (This schedule is subject to change/extension.)

Tuition: $325.

Still life provides a great tool to hone skills. Students of all levels welcome. Beginners will learn the fundamentals including laying in lights/darks (grisaille), color, materials and form.

More advanced students will apply skills to increasingly complex subject matter (metals, textures, water, flowers), refine color and produce finished paintings, learn to see as artists, simplify forms into abstract shapes and how to construct compelling compositions.

Students interested in working in other representational (vs. abstract) genres: maritime, landscape, portrait, animal art, etc. are also welcome to this class -- but they will need to supply their own source material -- photos or field studies. Please communicate those project ideas to Jill via email at: [email protected] at least one week prior to the beginning of class.  Information about the instructor can be found on this website or blog at http://jillbanks.blogspot.com. First day of class includes a demo from 9:00am to 11am (Note: extended, earlier time on April  11 only). Students will then setup to paint following the demo for the remainder of that class day.

Materials fee for still life objects is additional and payable directly to the instructor.
