Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this still life class:

Taught by MFA Faculty member Zane York, using techniques derived from the Dutch tradition, students will assemble and paint a still life with a weekly emphasis on a different component.  Daily lectures, demonstrations, videos, and group critiques will help guide students to understanding the foundations of not only still life, but representational oil painting in general. Particular focus will be on using composition and light to describe a variety of objects within the painting while creating a balance between compositional harmony and distinction between the individual elements.

Sessions:

  • Week 1: The Imprimatura and the egg
  • Week 2: Support Structure (background and cloth)
  • Week 3: The Natural World (painting flora and fauna)
  • Week 4: Solid as a Rock (bones, ceramic and stone)
  • Week 5: Reflections of Our Surroundings (painting metal and glass)
  • Week 6: Finishing Touches (glazes, velaturas, highlights and more!)
