How does a creative gather beauty and then interpret it? What object, light, and pattern begs to be captured through paint and canvas? The eye of the creative is one of the most beautiful gifts to ourselves and others. I have been an admirer and now a friend of Marian Parsons (Miss Mustard Seed) for many years. Whether she is designing a home, refurnishing furniture or painting a still life…how she SEES and CAPTURES the world and then shares it is one of her most beautiful gifts.
Join Marian Parsons for her next online course on our creative network and this time it is all about painting a still life. With Marian’s style and the objects that she chooses to capture, her work always feel modern and new but grounded in history!
INSTANT ACCESS for Alla Prima with Marian Parsons. Registration is $62. The course is 4.75 hours of content. Come and read all about it. All videos are downloadable, lifetime access* and closed captioning.
In this class, we will work on painting still lifes in oil using the Alla Prima method (completing the paintings in one sitting.) We’ll cover setting up a still life, lighting, selecting subjects, creating compositions, and we’ll complete several paintings from start to finish. I’ll also review some of my favorite books on still life painting so you can continue your journey when the videos are done. This is a perfect course if you want to become more comfortable working with oil paints, improve your drafting, nurture your aesthetic eye, and discover your personal style.
