Welcome!! I am so happy and excited that you are here! Thank you for being a part of The Essence of Still Life!
In this artful exploration will be diving into new ways to depict a traditional subject matter, the still life. We will start by surrounding ourselves with our favorite objects, things that we have collected throughout the years, that add a special spark to our everyday.
We will create fresh and contemporary drawings and paintings that are infused with the core essential qualities of the objects we choose. Charming line, interesting shapes, new ways to create, cover and uncover color, abstraction, mark making and poetic editing are a few of the key elements we will explore in this class. The best part is that we will have fun and share our discoveries together in our special “Essence” community!
I can’t wait to get started! Thanks again for being here!
With lots of love,
xoxo
Lynn
