NEW Large Floral Still-Life Painting

Main Building • 5256 Magazine Street New OrleansLA  70115 Organized by New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts

About this event

Due to the demand, we have opened an additional section of this course. Description: Over the course of this class, we will create larger-scale expressive paintings of a floral still-life. Using either oils or acrylic paints, we will explore the process of roughly blocking-in, using value to create depth and volume, and rendering and refining the whole composition. For the compositions, we will begin working from observation, and learn how to take reference images in order to complete the paintings. We will analyze some exemplary master works to understand composition and explore a variety of techniques. Color will be an important component of the workshop– studying the effect of light on color, creating contrast and using complementary colors to create the rich colors of nature. Students bring their own flowers and create a set up, On the first day we work on taking good reference photos, and start directly from observation. Prerequisite: Some painting experience would be helpful, but beginning painters are welcome.
