Fruits, Vegetables, Flora, Transparent Glass, and the Unusual: Come explore the contrasting forms and colors of the still life art form, for a weekly class to expand the “fruits” of your labor. Using unique shapes, transparent, opaque, and reflective objects, and thick, thin, and voluptuous plants, the instructor will discuss form, highlights, core shadows and cast shadows. After a weekly demonstration, students will explore creative painting techniques unique to all water-media. Three demonstrations will focus on Gouache, Watercolor  and Chinese Ink on Watercolor Paper, Watercolor/Gouache and Stabilo Crayon and/or Inktense on Paper, Arcylic with Crayon and/or Pastel.

Students are asked to bring the water-media of your choice. Use one medium, or combine several for mixed media results, while receiving instructor input. Easels and tables are supplied by the Castiglia Art Center. All other materials will be supplied by each individual. See the suggested Supply List.
