This three-day basic oil painting workshop will be taught using a still life as the subject matter. The course will emphasize canvas preparation, usage of materials, drawing, color mixture, composition, value, intensity of color and application of pigment. Each of the three sessions will begin with a demonstration done in the alla prima technique using a limited palette (three primary colors and white). Following the demonstrations students will create their own successful paintings working from a still life. Carpenter will offer individual constructive critique and instruction throughout the workshop.
