WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Paint looser, and more confidently during this three-day workshop with Oregon artist Sarah Sedwick! Take a step-by-step approach to alla prima oil painting, from black-and-white studies to brilliant color. Build a beautiful composition with life and movement, get a new perspective on the still life, and learn tips for bringing inspiration to your home studio practice.
You’ll learn the fundamentals of good design, creating sketches and value
studies to plan a composition that works. Using a split-primary palette as your
color foundation – two reds, two yellows, and two blues – you’ll do quick, fun
exercises to focus on loosening up your brushwork before creating a finished
piece.
Sarah will demonstrate, and work with each student individually. Instruction is in oils, and acrylics are welcome – particularly Open acrylics, that stay wet longer.
All levels welcome, age 15 and above.
BIO
Sarah Sedwick is a prolific painter of still lifes inspired by color combinations
and perceptual e ects. All are painted from life.
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Sarah earned a BFA in Illustration from The Maryland
Institute, College of Art in 2001.
Based in Oregon, she has been teaching workshops on alla prima still life and
portrait since 2013, and also conducts an online art mentorship program.
Her teaching philosophy is simple: the more you paint, the more you improve –
so removing the blocks that keep us from the canvas is key. Loosen up, let go of perfectionism, and watch the results unfold!
Instagram is a great way to follow Sarah’s work!
