2A43 *NEW* Objects As Portraits: Still Life Oil Painting
-Adult- | Available
Still life painting has long been a way for artists to capture and reflect on the world around them through objects. From devotional images of simple vessels to abundant displays of fruit, flowers and expressive abstract compositions, still life paintings can act as portraits—of people, beliefs, politics, wealth and ways of seeing. In this class, we’ll review 17th-century Dutch still-life paintings alongside later developments in modern painting. We’ll then use what we’ve discovered to work on a considered still life arrangement in oil with a focus on developing your own personal interpretation. Previous oil painting experience is strongly recommended.
