Winter in the Studio: Exploring Still Life with Acrylics

Marcie Vallette

Tuesdays 1/9, 1/16, 1/23, 1/30  

6-8pm

Cost: $100

Register for this Class

Come in out of the cold and brush up on still life painting with acrylics.  How do we relate to the everyday objects around us?  The objects around us can’t help but tell our stories, and artists have been using still life to tell the stories of human culture since the days of ancient Egypt.  Still lives have been found in ancient Greek and Roman ruins, on up through Renaissance, the age of Dutch Masters, Impressionists and into the 20th and 21st century.  Along with traditional fruit and florals, a still life may include unusual and surprising things like shoes, a pile of books, tools, a piece of cake, a children’s toy.   It’s great fun to paint a still life. You can keep it as simple or complex as you choose. Painting the still life gives you a chance to explore basic painting principals, including composition, point of view, color and spatial relationships.

Materials list:

Surfaces: Small stretched canvases, Watercolor paper cut to about 18 x 24 or smaller, Masking tape

Acrylic Paints: Mars black, Titanium white, Cadmium red, Cadmium yellow, Ultramarine Blue

Brushes: A variety of  round and flat brushes, At least 3 of each.

 Join the GRACE Writing Group to learn and practice writing techniques that will unlock the power of your writer’s voice, no matter what kind of writing you want to do.

Learn how to help smother that editor in your head.  Premature, compulsive editing makes writing difficult, dreaded and dead. The changes and pauses between your consciousness and the page damps down your voice. You have a sound, texture and rhythm to your voice that when unleashed creates powerful writing and makes a reader listen to you. You may not like your voice, but it’s the only one you have and your source of powerful writing. If you keep writing your voice will get better and you may like it better. If you stop writing, you’ll never have a voice and never be heard.

Write nonstop 5 minutes a day then bring your favorite selection to our weekly group for positive, noncritical feedback. Your voice will love being set free and make you smile.

In this workshop participants will create a monotype using collage techniques and utilizing a printing press to create an image in reverse. Participants will cut, tear, hole punch, etc. a variety of dry pre-inked oak tag to create a creature, which will be placed onto a print plate and run through the print press with damp blotted paper.
