 Still Life Painting workshop
June 28-July 2, 2010
Wrapped Pitcher
6 x 8 inches
oil on panel
The sensitive observation of even simple objects can yield dramatic paintings. Working in oil paint on gessoed panel, students will learn the refined glazing and layering techniques to render the most subtle effects of light. Beginning with a drawing on paper transferred to smooth panel, we will paint open grisaille, closed grisaille, opaque layering, and finally glazing to create highly refined images. Using knowledge gained through her studies of the effects of light on transparent and reflective surfaces through her "Wax Paper" series of still lifes, Sadie Valeri will share her methods for creating powerful and sensitive paintings. More importantly, she teaches how to see and understand the structure, value, and color principles that underpin believable realism.
Sadie Valeri graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in illustration and has since studied with some of the most important realist artists working today including Juliette Aristides, Michael Grimaldi, Dan Thompson, and Ted Seth Jacobs at the Bay Area Classical Artist Atelier, with Jacob Collins at the Hudson River Fellowship, and with Timothy Stotz and Michelle Tully at Studio Escalier in Paris. Sadie's painting "Wax Paper II" was a finalist in the 2009 Art Renewal Center Salon. She currently teaches graduate students at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
