Still-Life: The art of painting everything that stays still long enough...
Judith Blain
The subject of still-life has fascinated artists over time; however, a still-life does not mean just wine bottles and flowers. We will look at objects from various viewpoints, and learn several different approaches to starting a painting, thus giving the student the freedom to explore. Bring photos from magazines, books, etc. to use in class. Before class-if able, students are encouraged
to setup a few still-life arrangements at home and photograph them many angles. Please bring these photos to class.

Sunday Still-Life: Close-ups and farther out!
Judith Blain
Take the still life a step further by either zooming in on a specific area, or by zooming out to include other parts of the surroundings. By zooming in, negative and positive shapes become more important, texture becomes more dominant, and you may find yourself painting more tightly. By backing away, additional interior space can be included in the painting. The instructor sometimes
uses photos of interiors from magazines, but also works from photos of kitchen tables, workshops, fishing tackle, or the corner of a dusty barn window. Remember - use anything that isn't moving!
