    Description

    Explore abstract acrylic still life painting using traditional and non-traditional methods in this 4-hour workshop led by artist and plein air painter Jennifer Tobias. Students will learn and discuss how well-known artists approached their own painting and use the takeaways as inspiration. Using a still life curated by Jennifer and beginning with simplified and primitive shapes, students will be led through the initial composition stages. Students will build their visual vocabulary and confidence to approach a painting with greater expression and personalized, loose and playful abstraction. 

    • For Intermediate to Advanced painting students with some preliminary painting experience.
    • All materials included.
    • Three different sessions are on offer: Oct. 18th (you are viewing this one), Nov. 15th, and Dec. 13th - attend one, two, or all three! (Each session must be registered for separately.)
