The Three-Day Still Life

Color sketch
Painting by Cassandra Ronning

Want to work on your still-life skills? Would you like to learn to paint quickly and focus on problem solving? This class will focus on teaching you how to complete a small still life in three sessions.

In this 10-week class we will use a structured approach to create small paintings in oil. We will spend three days per painting. Subject matter will be set up by the instructor and will be a range of objects including fruit, vegetables, metal, bone, crockery, fabric and other objects.

The approach will be working quickly and efficiently. Day one will start students drawing in paint and a color-value block-in. Day two we will refine our drawing and colors. Day three will be finishing. We plan on completing three still lifes in this fashion.

It is suggested to have some experience in drawing and/or painting. If you have questions about your experience level please reach out to the instructor Cassandra Ronning at cassandra.ronning@gmail.com to discuss.
