AN INTRODUCTION TO OIL PAINTING VIA STILL- LIFE
Length: 8 weeks Cost: $235
This course will cover the 'Grisaille' Technique; this is one of the oldest techniques in painting, first attributed to Hieronymus Bosch. This system is perfect for beginners or advanced students as it divides the painting into three easy manageable stages of shape, tone, and colour. The student will learn how to build up and utilize the under-painting and then how to apply colour in the form of glazes.
Still life is a wonderfully subtle genre of art, full of forms balanced
in space, sometimes meaningfully symbolic, sometimes plain and straightforward.
In this class you will develop skills in painting light and shadow on
form, composition, depth and meaning in still life. As you learn to render
various shapes, textures and patterns you will learn to paint the space
they occupy, the air around them and the light and shadow that enfold
them. By the end of the course, students will able to apply this method
to still life, landscape, portraits and the nude.
