Still Life Painting Workshop with Max Ginsburg *CANCELLED*

March 23 @ 6:30 pmMarch 26 @ 9:30 pm
Still Life Painting Workshop with Max Ginsburg

We are sorry to say that Max is having some health issues and is not able to teach this workshop.

In this workshop, we will paint in oil and focus on a still-life composition, an arrangement of objects, food, and containers of varying textures (such as glass, paper, and plastic). A separate set-up will be arranged with lighting for every four students.

Max Ginsburg will give a two-hour demo, painting a still life. He will verbally explain his procedure as he paints the demo.  Then the students will each paint their still life painting, and Max will critique each student’s work daily.
Our painting approach will be alla prima (direct painting). (Supply List Below)
Additionally, Max will deliver a lecture and present a slideshow of his still-life paintings. For more information, please see Max Ginsburg’s website: https://www.maxginsburg.com/
