This workshop’s focus will be on Impressionistic still life painting, specifically spring florals such as daisies, roses and sunflowers. Students will learn how to arrange the floral still life and develop setup ideas using such flowers as subject matter. Emphasis will be on basic concepts of composition and the importance of transparent color lay in. Effective use of light and value to create vivid and lively paintings will also be covered, along with how to use soft and hard edges in and around the focal point.
