Still life provides us the opportunity to set up challenges so we can paint to learn.  

Lighting is one of the elements that makes a still life setup beautiful. While backlighting is not as common as three-quarter lighting, it offers a lot when viewed as a means to simplify. In this workshop we will do smaller setups and study how backlighting works. Composing, editing, and mark-making are integral to painting and we will cover those topics as well.  Start where you are and progress within the structure Aimee provides. Sessions are a mix of lecture/demo, exercises, painting from life, and instructional review of student work.

Like most of Aimee’s classes, this one is open to all levels. Aimee encourages her students to adapt assignments to their own level. She wants you to be challenged and engaged without being overwhelmed, and to build on what you already know.
