Course Description

In this course, students will go step by step through the process of creating a still life painting from beginning to end.

We will begin with a linear drawing, or “block in” which will be transferred on to the canvas. From there we will discuss how to:

  • -Set ourselves up for success with the underpainting or “ebauche”

  • -Establish our large color relationships using a preliminary color study

  • -Model form convincingly in full color

    • - Come up with a logical plan of action to help us work most efficiently

    • - Come back in to correct areas that have already been painted

    • - Add finishing touches at the end to bring it all together

A good deal of time will be spent discussing paint handling, palette organization, how to depict different types of surfaces, textures and light effects, how to achieve accurate color relationships, and how to accurately model form in full color.

Because emphasis will be put on completing the painting within the week, students are encouraged to keep their subject matter relatively simple.

At the end of the week students should walk away with a clear sense of how the entire process works. With that understanding, the method and newfound skills can be taken back to their own studios and easily applied to more complex projects.
