Advanced Still Life Oil Painting with Garth
Instructor: Garth Swanson
A celebration of life through the celebration of paint.
First class exercise will be executed in Alla Prima style using subject matter provided by the instructor. The remaining courses will be built around the student’s desired subject matter and rate of execution.
This class is designed to build upon the techniques developed from beginning and intermediate level painting courses with an extra emphasis on paint quality and the ensuing discourse created within the work. Additional exercises and demonstrations will be used to show the range of painting techniques (from Scumbling to Glazing, Impasto to Sfumato, Washes to Layering, Brushwork to Palette Knifing and so on).
The development of personal style is always paramount; however, the fundamentals of our craft will always be stressed.
Prerequisite: intermediate still life or equivalent
Supply list: please bring your regular oil painting supplies and a few choices of canvas formats and sizes to your first class.
Instructor:

Garth studied at the University of New Hampshire and teaches Advanced Still Life Oil Painting at the Academy.
