Do you want to create a graphic, bold and expressive still-life that feels dynamic and unique while developing your own illustration style?
In this class, I will show you some techniques I have been using for over 10 years in my own career as an artist in order to train my eye, get inspired and get my creative juices flowing. This is a mix media project, and that basically means use whatever you have at home.
I think a still life with no perspective is an unconventional project that can perfectly illustrate the idea that you really don’t need to be an expert in order to create compelling, fun and personal art. All levels of expertise are welcome to join!
You’ll learn how to:
- simplify and reinterpret objects with loose and confident lines,
- apply simple compositional rules and use color as a narrative device in order to guide the viewer’s eye through your painting,
- And finally, how to add depth and personality to your illustration with texture and marks!
I will show you that you really do not need to rely on perspective or any known art rules in order to create interesting illustrations that feel like you. This class is packed with hands-on exercises, tips, and tricks I wish someone had told me when I just started illustrating, and examples of great works of art for you to get inspired.
The main takeaway here is that art is accessible to everyone; you just need to ignore perspective 😛 , approach the painting process with joy and the results will show!
