Paintings from Observation

The following paintings are the culmination of the Painting Classes' unit on still life painting. Painting from observation is like learning a new language, especially in the digital age. It involves a coordination of the hand and eye that requires tremendous concentration and practice. Students must become keen observers of light, shadow and color tone. It is remarkably different from working from a photograph or 2-D source image. View our final still life paintings below:
