STILL LIFE IN OIL
Peggi Kroll-Roberts
Course Description
The focus of this workshop is painting simple still lives as a way to practice our skills of drawing, design, value and color. The fundamentals will be explored and discussed so as to tap into each individual's artistic voice. There will be a variety of exercises to explore values pertaining to the tonal pattern of a painting. Color exercises will provide experience in cool and warm light. Subject matter will provide drawing experience in perspective, ellipsis and contour shape relationships. Design will be approached on an individual basis and explore more traditional compositions as well as "pushing the envelope." Prepare for very little down time for a rewarding experience.
Instructor
Peggi Kroll-Roberts was trained at Arizona State University and the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. Peggi worked as a fashion and advertising illustrator before making the transition into fine art. Using intense color and value to accentuate her subject, she moved into fine art with a bold palette, a love for small paintings and a very loose style that achieves a lot with a few very energetic brush strokes. Inspired by her children she also paints beach scenes and other aspects of their lives.
