Shawn Barber Painting Workshop
"Oil Painting Still Life from Life"

In this 1 day, 5 Hour Painting Workshop, Shawn will demonstrate and walk you through creating a still life painting from life.
We will be working with a limited palette and painting a still life over a 5 hour period. The first hour we will focus on drawing, color mixing and laying down a solid foundation. Then we will work back into the paintings and work towards completion.
I will demonstrate process and go back and forth between active assistance and demonstration. This workshop includes discussion and demonstration on palette setup, medium choices, color mixing, constructing a drawing and painting the still life. Within the workshop, we will elaborate on the power of suggestion and 'building up' oil paint to a level of completion over a 5 hour period.
YOU WILL BRING IN YOUR OWN SMALL OBJECT TO PAINT, and we will set everything up, discussing lighting and composition. I do have small objects here for you to use- but painting your own makes it a little more personal.
