“Creating art or a painting might be thought of as intimidating for some, but the student will find by learning simple concepts, anyone can learn & have fun doing it.” ~ Anthony Padula
Join artist Anthony Padula for an in depth study of classic 19th century still life oil paintings techniques. Taking inspiration from John Singer Sargent and his teacher, living master David Leffel, Anthony will share his process for painting a floral still life which is not only beautiful but impactful. Students will learn how to harmoniously arrange objects and translate them into an active composition with a loose painterly approach that begins with blocking in shapes and developing dimension and atmosphere with warm and cool pigments. Each day will start with a demonstration during which Anthony welcomes questions and discussion. From where to put the first marks, to color and contrast, and the art of wiping, you will learn his classic methods to create a striking yet soft realism. The remainder of each class will be spent painting as Anthony works with you individually to explore the timeless brilliance of these master techniques. If there is interest, Anthony will demo and discuss painting landscapes on the third day, to show you how to approach the outdoor world with all you have learned in the studio. ALL LEVELS WELCOME.

The AAN Studio is equipped with glass top sliding carts that make perfect glass palettes. However, you will want to bring a large plastic bin or tray with palette paper and a lid. Because the studio is used for evening classes and storage room is at a minimum, students are asked to transport their supplies to and from the studio each day. We also supply vegetable oil, brush cleaner, and dawn soap for clean up.
