Discover the Workshop

Discover how to take ordinary still life paintings to the next level in this virtual, mixed-media painting class. Taking inspiration from contemporary artists whose exciting work fits into the still life genre, we then set up our own compositions, filling our paintings with meaning, wonder, pattern, form and color. The class focuses on experimenting with abstract mark-making as well as representational imagery. We discover different ways to use acrylic and delve into collage and printmaking techniques such as pochoir, stencils, and trace monotype to create new and surprising marks.

This workshop meets via Zoom Video Conferencing software (download free from Zoom.com). An Anderson Ranch staff member co-teaches the class and coordinates the online platform. Further details will be emailed to registrants.
