Oil Painting: Still Life
The great painter Sergei Bongart continuously told his students “if you can a paint still life, you can paint anything.”
This workshop will use still life to expound on the fundamentals of good painting: composition, techniques for accurate drawing, color mixing, value and color temperature.
The day will begin with examples and demos. Individual attention will be given to each participant regarding his or her progress.
I have painted many subjects, but still life continues to bring a passion and excitement to me I have not found anywhere else.
Brenda Semanick has been a professional artist for twenty-five years and is also an award-winning educator, receiving the Tucson Pima Arts Council 2006 Art Educator of the Year Award and a Top 10 Finalist Award for the 2004 Arizona Teacher of the Year.

If you have a desire, you can easily learn to paint and draw, and I guarantee I can teach you. I enjoy teaching as much as I do painting! My beginning/drawing painting students showed quick progress and did very well.
"Once in a great while, if we are very lucky, we come across a teacher who stands out from the crowd. Brenda is such a person. She is not only a gifted artist but she is also a gentle critic, a patient teacher and a lovely person. Though I have only known her for a short time, she has provided me insight into both ways of better "seeing" as well as hands on techniques for improving my art work. I would highly recommend her to anyone from the most basic beginner to more advanced students who are serious about improving their drawing and painting skills."--James Haines
