Water-Media Still Life: Exploration of Forms & Color workshop

with Artist, Jennifer Koury
4-Day Workshop on Tuesdays, September 17th, 24th, & October 1st, 15th from 9:30am – 12:45pm

The Roycroft Campus – 21 South Grove St. East Aurora, NY

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 during a weekly demo. Each week the demo will explore different water-media on different surfaces, then participants will paint with instructor input. Demonstrations include Watercolor on Cold Press WC Paper, Watercolor and Ink on Hot Press WC Paper, Watercolor on Aquabord (Aquabord’s surface is rough; it will harm natural hair brushes. Please see supply list to purchase recommended synthetic brushes), and Gouache on Board.

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.
