See the colorful glass ornaments on the silver dish? This one day workshop will offer a bright, colorful and sparkly still life with fun and challenging holiday objects. Students may choose to work in Oil, Watercolor or Pastel. Color, light and shadow will be emphasized for expressive qualities. Students explore how to see and think about composition by looking at examples of different approaches from various artists. Cynthia will discuss her approach to painting still life. Students will work from an arrangement, doing several still life compositional studies before deciding on one composition for a longer painting. www.cynthiapetersonfineart.com
