Students will use mixed media with pencil, crayon, and acrylic paint to create an original still life. They will learn basic color theory to produce tints and shade.  We will explore nature on the grounds, collecting objects from outdoors.  Found objects will become part of the composition for a still life.  Step-by-step directions and examples will be provided to guide students through the process.  

All materials will be provided. This workshop will take place at Castle Hill’s Main Campus: 10 Meetinghouse Road, Truro.
