Loose Realism:

Painting the Still Life in Oils

Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced

Paint looser and more confidently during this three-day workshop with Oregon

artist Sarah Sedwick! Take a step-by-step approach to alla prima oil painting,

from black-and-white studies to brilliant color. Build a beautiful composition with

life and movement, and get a new perspective on the still life. Instead of

struggling with overworking your paintings, practice STOPPING SOONER to

keep the freshness you crave in your work.

Working with a split-primary palette of six colors and white, explore how creating

quick studies and using bigger brushes can loosen up your paintings. Learn the

fundamentals of composition design, and walk step-by-step through Sarah’s alla

prima process, creating a dynamic still life from start to finish!

Sarah will demonstrate, and work with each student individually. Instruction is in

oils, and acrylics are welcome - particularly Open acrylics, that stay wet longer.

Class size limited to 15 students. All levels welcome, age 15 and above.
