Advanced Still Life Oil Painting with Jonathan

Instructor: Jonathan Hodge

Description: In this course, we will study the art of still life painting. Students will learn about composition and how to stage a cluster of objects to create a successful still life arrangement. We will cover a number of topics such as edges, underpaintings, and opacity versus transparency. Students will complete a drawing, grisaille, and successive color passes to bring their piece to a finish. There will be class discussions, demos, and personalized critiques.

Jonathan's themes often reflect the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity, perhaps best illustrated by his paintings of Hurricane Katrina that devastated his hometown of New Orleans. He believes not only in the power of art, but its ability to move people.
