Still Life Drawing and Painting-Session 2
Class | Registration closed 10/22/2025
Choose your medium—drawing, painting, or both—as we explore the timeless art of still life. Learn shading, measuring, and expressive mark-making with a variety of drawing materials, or experiment with color mixing, light, and atmosphere through painting. Inspired by both traditional and contemporary masters, students will bring classic still life into a modern context.
