Work from a still life arrangement to explore the pictorial possibilities within the set up.
In this online intermediate/advanced workshop students will work from a still life arrangement in their own home or studio. This is a friendly and practical class, with a group of up to 9 students. Students can work either in monochrome or colour.
Clare will demonstrate her approach to painting still life and exploring the abstract qualities of a composition. Students will set up a still life arrangement at home, undertaking a number of drawing/painting exercises. Students will be encouraged to consider the underlying abstract design, the relationships between light and shadow and explore ways to describe form and depth using line, contrast, tonal values, edge variety and colour.
The class will be focussing on making studies rather than a 'finished painting'. Individual feedback will be given, with students uploading images of their work to a Padlet page.
Online tuition will be given via zoom with live demos, one-to-one discussion, individual work and group discussions.
Video recordings uploaded to YouTube after each class (private account)
