STILL LIFE FOR FOODIES
(acrylic  or  oil)

Make painting realistically far more exciting in this yummy and fun class as you work with food, both real and photographed, to create colorful artworks that showcase what makes them down-right crave-able!

In this class, you will learn how to:

• arrange a food still life in a fun and unique way
• use your phone to capture arrangements with purposeful lighting and color
• mix oil or acrylic paints to match the food you are painting
• paint realistically with the help and encouragement of your instructor
• have constructive critiques with peers to enhance your work

Students will walk away with the skills to arrange and paint a still life realistically from anything they have in the fridge. They will take home 2-3 finished paintings of food during their 5 week class.
