Still Life Phase I Preview
Basic composition, staging, and limited palettes will be the emphasis of this phase. The phase begins with one object rendered in each of the 3 palettes: Burnt Umber Pick-Out, Burnt Umber White, and Phthalo Blue Black and White. You will then work up to two (and ultimately three) objects. Instructor Jeff Watts will go over basic set-ups, touch on patinas, focus on the inherent quality embodied in any object, and demonstrate brushmanship. By this time you may be tiring a bit of the limited monochromatic palettes. Remember, repetition is the mother of skill. Jeff himself used each palette he is introducing for at least six months to a year. You will, ideally, be doing the same.
