Art Workshop "Nature/Still Life" - by Leon Oks

Still life has always been a popular genre for artists–from students who are trying to learn the basics of drawing to seasoned artists who appreciate the subtleties of a good drawing.

This workshop encourages to use a variety of mediums (watercolors, oil, pastels) and techniques (wet-in-wet, dry brush) to create projects that inspire and enrich the students’ experiences.

The projects can be differentiated by grade level and address a variety of skills, aptitudes, learning styles.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: – Familiarity with materials – Drawing basics (line, shape, value) – Composition (subject choice, position, lighting)

About the artist:

“…Leon Oks, an American artist born in the Ukraine, both invites and defies comparison with modern masters.  Some see the influence of Fauve and Picasso in his works while others believe he has gone well beyond the boundaries established by these great 20th Century artists.
