Small and Quick Still-Life Studies
Workshop | Available
This workshop will focus on creating small paintings of only a few objects. You might choose an apple or two, a few grapes, or even a non-traditional subject like soap or whatever else you might be interested in painting. The goal is to make a quick painting which will help you get faster and learn by quickly simplifying the subject. Topics covered include: toning the canvas, brushes, paint, palette, even the still life stand. All the essentials! www.clintonhobart.com
Clinton Hobart
Clinton Hobart is a Fine Artist, Educator, and Licensed Disney Fine Artist. He creates original oil paintings of a wide variety of subjects ranging from classical subject matter such as fruit and eggshells to more modern subjects such as Mickey Mouse and Doritos. Even his Disney paintings are technically still-lifes, because he works from real objects in front of him. If he cannot find the objects he desires to paint he frequently will build elaborate "Sets" to work from.
He has been featured on NBC News, FOX News, The CW, ABC News, and American Artist magazine. He appeared on CBS News with Scott Pelle after a Chinese company sold forged copies of his paintings online. Afterward, the Huffington Post mentioned the story in an article stating that Clinton was part of a "sting operation."
