Still Life in Egg Tempera

August 21 - 27, 2011

Medium: Egg Tempera
Level: All Levels
5-Day Studio Class

With its ability to render fine detail, create different textures, and build up countless glazes and scumbles, egg tempera is beautifully suited for still life.  In this workshop you learn how to create a luminous egg tempera still life painting from start to finish.  Koo Schadler discusses in depth the importance of the set-up, taking into consideration light, values, color, warm and cool, shapes, textures, and edges.  There will be painting demonstrations as well as ongoing individual instruction and critiques.  Koo will also work on a painting of her own, so you can see firsthand how she develops an egg tempera still life.  A photography session will show you how to create visually strong still life photographs that already look like beautifully designed paintings.

You may work from either life, your own photographs, or from photos of still lifes provided by Koo. 

Open to all levels of painters, from beginner to advanced.  A demonstration on the essentials of working in egg tempera will be provided for beginning students. 

Materials fee:  $60.
