Indoor/Outdoor Alla Prima Still Life Class
We will be painting still life setups in oils both indoors and outdoors as weather and comfort allow. Learn to build paintings with luminous color starting with transparent colors, and building towards opaques. Students are most welcome to bring their own still life objects; flowers, fruit, whatever is appealing to them. Recommending – less is more.
