Morning Coffee Klatsch Still Life Painting


Feeley Fabric

September 17 – 19: Start your day with coffee and creativity! This popular three-morning class is designed for the emerging painter who desires to further develop their skill with some easy relaxed still life painting. Each three-hour morning session will build on the previous sessions starting with a slide lecture on the history of still life painting then moving to materials and pallet setup, color mixing, composition and finally to beautiful paintings of that days still life setup of flowers or fruits or … The first morning will start with a slide lecture on the history of still life painting from the ancient Minoans to today’s Gerhard Richter with stops along the way to discuss Hans Melming, Henri Fantin-Latour, Chinese and Japanese still life, the Impressionists, cubism, abstraction, Andy Warhol and outsider art.

There will be frequent demonstrations by the instructor. Each student will get individual attention to help them progress at their own pace. Wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting paint stained. You will be amazed at paintings that you will develop over the three mornings.

Coffee and donuts will be served.
