Abstracting the Still Life with Michael Weller: Winslow Art Center - Online via Zoom

27 July - 17 August 2022 
Price $285 Wednesdays - 5:30-8:00 PM London Time - Online via Zoom

Explore different approaches to abstracting the still life in this 4-week class with award winning artist Michael Weller. As Michael explains, “Looking at size, proportion, tone and color helps me to approach paintings as color studies. It’s a slightly abstract way into painting. It’s how I paint.”

Working with just a few simple shapes, learn the steps that Weller uses in his painting process, from preliminary drawings to composition decisions and blocking in the big color shapes.

Michael will demo in each class and will give feedback on participants’ paintings during the week on the group message board.
