Studio Schweinfurth: Pastel Painting Studio: Focus on Still Life

Still life painting has been around since images of foods were painted on the walls of Egyptian tombs to give the dead something to eat in the afterlife. Impressionists, Post-Impressionists, and Fauvists used still life subjects as an opportunity to play with paint-handling, color, and composition. We will do precisely that as we paint from colorful arrangements based on actual still lifes by 19th and 20th century masters. Pastel is intensely colorful and can be applied in a myriad of ways, from a fine line to a broad passage of color. This workshop is an opportunity for you to receive individualized instruction in the pastel medium.
