Floral Still Life
1 Day Workshop | Available
Bring in the spring season with a day of floral painting! In this one day workshop, students will create one "alla-prima" (oil/acrylic on canvas or panel) from an in class floral arrangement with a brief lesson on the key techniques of still life painting: rendering shadows and highlights; colour theory; replicating texture, as well as the evolution of floral still life painting in the history of art. Students will also acquire the knowledge required to understand the key components and techniques needed to set-up their own successful still life in their own studio.
