When you look around your home where can you find a fun and colorful subject to paint? How about the kitchen counter! In this painting workshop, we will work with found still-life objects and paint directly from life in a fast and furious style. Formal elements such as composition, value and color relationship will be addressed. There will be discussion, demo, hands on working time and critique.
