Art Workshop
October 4 – 7, 9:30am – 4:30pm. The 17th C. Dutch Breakfast Still Life Workshop
Four-Day Workshop; Instructor: Justin Wood
This workshop is inspired by the Dutch Breakfast Still Life (Ontbijtjes) type of painting developed in the 17th century. The Breakfast Still Life is characterized by the display of everything from common everyday foods and items to rare delicacies and luxury goods such as roemers (wine glasses), silver/gold goblets, and Chinese porcelain bowls. Common themes in this genre included straight forward tributes to nature and finely crafted wares to moral and religious warnings against excess. Class includes setting up composition, drawing and transferring, completing the grisailles and completing each part with color. Individual attention provided during each session.
