Develop your observational skills and learn how to render objects in perspective while experimenting with dramatic light sources. Examine Dutch still life paintings from the collection to arrange your own compelling compositions. Using personal ephemera, practice drawing in the style of Trompe-l’oeil to translate what you see onto paper.
Please provide a nut-free lunch, snacks, utensils, water bottle, and smock. Supplies are provided.
