PAINTING THE STILL LIFE IN OILS
INSTRUCTOR: TERESA OAXACA
In this workshop, we will be painting the same still-life over two days. Table-top floral with hidden masks, dolls and birds will be the theme: flowers, tea sets, pastries and fruits will all set up on table-tops. Students will watch live painting demonstrations from Teresa and receive individualized critiques. Emphasis will be on color, matching values, drawing and design of space. An added element will be the mixing in of outside photo references, such as birds, other small creatures or a landscape into the painting. Understanding how to animate photographs and mix references will be discussed.
