Paint looser, and bring a boost energy to your painting using only three colors and white! This three-day workshop with Oregon artist Sarah Sedwick covers the fundamentals of value and composition design, and is all about rich color and lively brushwork. Learn the alla prima technique, and pack your paintings with confident, harmonious color while simplifying your palette. Get a new perspective on the still life, and great tips for bringing inspiration to your own studio practice.
We will do quick, fun exercises and longer duration paintings. Sarah will demonstrate her process, and work with each student individually. Painters of all levels are welcome. Begin your oil painting journey or give your skills a work out!
(This workshop is still life based. Students of all levels welcome, ages 15 and above.)

About the Instructor:
Sarah Sedwick is a prolific painter of still lifes inspired by color combinations and perceptual effects. 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 around the US 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.
