SADIE VALERI STILL LIFE PAINTING WORKSHOP

Course Description: Still Life Painting Workshop

The sensitive observation of even simple objects can yield dramatic

paintings. Working in oil paint on gessoed panel, students will learn

the refined glazing and layering techniques to render the most subtle

effects of light. Beginning with a drawing on paper transferred to

smooth panel, we will paint open grisaille, closed grisaille, opaque

layering, and finally glazing to create highly refined images. Using

knowledge gained through her studies of the effects of light on

transparent and reflective surfaces through her "Wax Paper" series

of still lifes, Sadie Valeri will share her methods for creating

powerful and sensitive paintings. More importantly, she teaches

how to see and understand the structure, value, and color principles

that underpin believable realism.

About the instructor:

Sadie Valeri graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a

BFA in illustration and has since studied with some of the most

important realist artists working today including Juliette Aristides,

Michael Grimaldi, Ted Seth Jacobs, and Jacob Collins at the Hudson

River Fellowship. Her painting "Wax Paper II" was a finalist in the

2009 Art Renewal Center Salon. She currently teaches graduate

students at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
