This 4 day class, taught by Carlo Russo, will focus on painting the floral still life in oils. Florals can be a daunting subject and we will try to make sense of the the beautiful forms which have fascinated and frustrated artists for centuries. Since flowers and plants tend to move from day to day and even hour to hour the students will draw and paint directly on the canvas with the brush only.
The focus will be on capturing the essentials of the still life and finishing areas wet in to wet. I will give frequent demonstrations and critique as we explore the unique nature of flowers and plants in paint.
The cost for this 4-day workshop, held June 12 to 15, 2017, is $600. It is open to all levels. Sign up at https://www.whidbeyislandfas.com/copy-of-workshops.
