Oil Painting: Still Life Mini’s with Arlene Marcoe
Oil Painting: Still Life Mini’s with Arlene Marcoe
The primary objective of this program is to master the technique of painting a still life
through direct observation. In each class, we will complete a small painting of a simple
subject following basic steps. The first hour: drawing and composition, the second hour:
blocking in values, and the final hour will be bringing it to completion. We will explore the
principles of composition and the arrangement that will be presented to you. Arlene will
provide a demonstration of the initial blocking-in process and discuss the considerations
involved in making artistic decisions. Each session will have specific goals to ensure your
satisfaction with your work before progressing to the subsequent phase. You will receive
personalized guidance and feedback throughout the duration of the class. Required
supplies to purchase before class: Three Canvases: 5x7 in. or 6x8 in. (no more than
~$3 each, might come in a pack) Weber brand Odorless turpenoid (~$12 for 8 oz.) A roll
of Paper towels, Plastic Palette. Available at Walmart, Amazon, Michaels, etc. The rest of
the supplies will be provided in class.
