with Susan Sullivan

$250

Instructor: Susan Sullivan
Six-Week Short Course (18 Hours)
Credit: Non-Credit Only

Whet your appetite for painting by whipping up food studies in oil or acrylic! Alla prima still life painting is an excellent way to hone your color mixing and paint handling skills, and food subjects – whether bakery confections or lunchtime leftovers – are perfect for learning to capture form, light, color, and texture rapidly and expressively. Discussion and demonstration will cover tactics for setting up your composition, mixing color, and exploring paint application techniques for oil and acrylic. Examine food depictions from historical and contemporary artists for inspiration and admiration. Combine palette and palate to create compositional concoctions that are personal, whimsical, or visually delectable. Instruction is geared toward oil or acrylic painting, but students may work in their drawing/painting media of choice. All levels are welcome.
