Steve DiGiovanni
Fee: Free of charge
While composing a simple still life painting, I will introduce the principles of painting from observation. These will include seeing forms and colors objectively and without judgment. I will visually attempt to explain the concepts behind Maurice Denis’ quote, “Remember that a painting, before it is a battle horse, a nude model, or some anecdote, is essentially a flat surface covered with colors assembled in a certain order.”
