Still Life Workshop: "Beyond the Bowl of Fruit: Techniques and Trade Secrets."
with Helen Evans
Still-life is often misunderstood as a dry and pedestrian genre, but it holds endless potential for creativity. This workshop will show you just how captivating still-life can be and reveal the creative alchemy of acrylic paint in the process.
Known for her openness and generosity in sharing her vast knowledge, Helen is dedicated to equipping you with the tools to bring ease and confidence to your art practice. She doesn't hold back on artistic trade secrets!
During the workshop, Helen will demystify key aspects of painting still life, composition, value, colour, and technique. She’ll guide you through selecting a subject and designing a dynamic composition, all the way to creating a finished piece. You’ll also explore the diverse techniques Helen employs to create your own expressive still life.
You can expect to work on at least one still-life painting from start to finish, with plenty of opportunities for hands-on learning. Helen will offer practical demos, pro strategies, and personal mentoring to help you develop your unique approach to still life.
