This still life oil painting workshop is presented by Dr Vanessa Barbay and includes a short slide show on the history of the genre infused with theoretical concepts based on John Berger's 'Ways of Seeing' 1972, "The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled." 

Students will be guided in learning to see while mixing colours and constructing a painting that explores thin expressive and fat impasto surfaces. The push and pull relationship between figure and ground is also considered.

The still life (supplied) will be installed in the centre of the room with participants working on easels around it.

Using acrylics and mixed media, Wilma will teach you how to form vibrant Floral Still life and Landscape works. Learn to paint loosely and intuitively in bold colour and create marks with simple things such as a household skewer or sticks. 

Freedom of expression is encouraged in this Floral Still Life workshop.

You will be encouraged to create your own handmade stencil and use it to make original markings on printed paper. This in turn will be used in background layers as your painting develops. 

We will use a vase of fresh flowers for inspiration only,  detail is not necessary and loose painting is encouraged. 

The process is to enjoy being creative.
