One of the best parts of my residency at the TC Steele site was the opportunity to give a two day still life workshop. I know for sure that I learned as much during the two days as the wonderful people who joined me. It was a privilege for me to have hopefully passed on even a fraction of what's been taught to me by my favorite teachers. So a much-belated Thank You! to all of the kind (and industrious!) students who attended. I hope your painting has been continuing on in full force!
Demos from the workshop:
quick study of a couple of objects with the emphasis on light and shadow, and creating the illusion of forms turning in space (8" x 10", oil):
another study with the emphasis here on composition (as well as turning forms in space, value, and color) (14" x 18", oil):

Amazing Karen. Love the composition and the light source. The color sings. I will try to learn through these examples. Well done.
All the best to you.

Yes... I agree with Joan... Wonderful demos... lucky you for learning by teaching... lucky students to have you as an example!
Hi Joan, thank you! I hope they do help! I tried to keep that light source very clear and concentrate bright color in the focal areas.
Hi Marian, it's amazing how much we can learn by teaching...not only in the organizing our thoughts part...but truly by thinking about how others understand things, which can give us a new perspective. I do hope that my students were lucky! :)
Hey Teach!
the blogosphere misses your presence, but you get an excused absence!

Classic Karen!
Love the colors and use of light, great job
