Dear Subscribers,

Greetings!

We had my (2nd Annual) Still Life Composition and Painting Workshop at the Jack Richeson School & Gallery in Wisconsin! A group of very hard workers in this shop. Here is my first demo:

Umber shape-of-shadow block in with brush:

My palette:

Painting with the knife:

Halfway:

And the finished demonstration, "The Hot Socket" (9x12, SOLD):

A second demo, this with brush. I decided to end this at a relatively early stage to give time for some additional demo-ettes. "Setting Sun" (9x12, SOLD):

And a collection of subjects by request:
