Floral Still-Life Painting at Ox Bow

Learn to paint a floral still life in oils from James Brandess. Turn your focus to painting from observation, using a demo floral arrangement made that morning as the subject. Let paint and color be the focus, inspired by the beauty that flowers and light can provide. For a full-day artmaking experience, during which you will make your own floral arrangement, also sign up for the first part of this workshop, Flowering: Art History & Arrangement, led by Maddie Reyna.

Plan to bring: gessoed canvases, flat bristle brushes, oil paints, 1 pint of odorless paint thinner, drawing supplies (vine charcoal, pencil, white eraser, sketchbook), 3 empty tin cans, empty glass jar with lid, blue paper shop towels, 18-by-24-inch plexiglass palette, vinyl gloves, sunscreen, and bug spray.
