Dates: July 31–August 4, 2023
Times: 9 am–4 pm (break 12–1 pm)

All levels welcome; ages 15+

Learn the fundamentals of still life painting in the inspiring north-lit studios of Lyme Academy. Instructor-led demonstrations based on the close observation of 2-4 objects will include the “direct method” approach, starting with a charcoal underdrawing and building up a painting in stages. Additional guided instruction will address composition, drawing, light, color theory, form, depth, edges, and how to introduce narrative elements into a painting. Morning demonstrations and lectures will be followed by individual instruction, ensuring that each student’s still life painting is developed and completed.

Note that this workshop will also include a discussion of studio materials, such as paints, brushes, boards, and canvas.
