Working with the observed still life, students will have instructor support to go through the stages of building a strong base drawing and layering colors to better understand and render the perceived colors of light. Each workshop day includes verbal explanations, artist examples and demonstration of techniques by the instructor. Each student will also receive personalized feedback, depending on their own skill level and needs.
