Not-so-still Life.

A painting workshop with Caryl Hull Leavitt

When is a flower not a flower?

When you view it as a series of shapes and color. 

Come for a fun afternoon of color, shape and gesture as we paint from a robust still life set up.

We’ll warm up with a few exercises that build to an ala prima/one session painting.

Paint on Canvapaper (provided by Art Wellesley) or bring your own small canvas - 8 x 10, 9 x 12 or thereabouts  suggested.

Art Wellesley will provide basic acrylic paints and brushes. Any paint medium is welcomed - experienced artists welcome to bring their own. 

Try it!

Location of this event will be added soon.

Fee: $40

Caryl Hull Leavitt is a painter living in Brookline. She paints from observation, memory and intuition. The patterns and dynamics of a fleeting scene and familiar routines often catch her eye in unexpected ways. Throughout any given day she is likely to make quick sketches or snap photos of what she sees for later reference. She views her subject matter as a catalyst for exploration and discovery so that one theme may find its way through painting, collage and mixed media sculpture, each offering its own means of expression.
