Coming Soon: Painting the Peony at Alia Fine Art Studio

*Contact Rachel to be notified once date is confirmed

Learn how to approach a floral still life when working from life, with a focus on the specific characteristics of peonies. Working from individual shadow boxes that contain live flower arrangements, students will learn a step-by-step process of articulating a complex and often mystifying subject.

Students will complete at least one painting over the course of two days; beginning with basic principles of the block-in and capturing the gesture of the flowers, then on to developing the painting by combining the use of observation along with conceptual form-rendering techniques.
