Fruit, Flowers, and Fun: the Backlit Still Life

IN PERSON. Hosted by Acrylic University on Camano Island, Washington. June 23-26, 2026. Medium: acrylic or oil. Demos will be in both mediums. 

This is a four day paint-from-life workshop in the studio. Still life provides us the opportunity to set up challenges so we can paint to learn. 

Did you know: there are three types of still life: formal, found, and part of a larger scene. In this workshop we will do smaller setups and study how backlighting works. Good news! It simplifies things! And if you'd rather do front lit, that's fine too. Weather permitting, outdoor setups will be an option as well. Start with what you do know and gain skills by doing exercises that isolate different aspects of painting and will inform your decisions from here on. Fun and informative workshop for all skill levels.
