This workshop will be a fabulous skills-building opportunity for students to learn about Ruth Ann Nordlund’s methods and techniques in order to produce their own original creative works. Students will set up a still life, including choosing objects, arrangement and lighting. Following this, the students will begin to create their own painting with assisted support. Instruction will be emphasizing the main principles of concepts, value, edges, and color and their relationship to the surface.
