“Fruit Flowers Food”_ Still Life with Carol Tarzier_Thursdays Jan 22nd – Feb 26th_ 10am-1:30_ Studio 2_

Fruit Flowers Food

Bay Area artist Carol Tarzier is offering “Fruit Flowers Food” a Still Life painting course.  Class meets on Thursdays January 22nd  – February 26th in the Rossmoor Art Association Studio Two.   Students work from still life objects beginning with fruit.   Demos are presented weeks 1, 3, and 5 and begin with fruit and move into colorful desserts/flowers.  Students create multiple smaller finished paintings.    The last class is a final critique.

“Fruit Flowers Food” is about using simplifying the value structure and creating shapes of value and color that build the painting.  We begin with color mixing and composition, and move into light and paint handling/edges.  The class focuses on with masses and values and loosening up paint handling to create an energetic piece.

Oil or acrylic painters welcome.   Oil painters please use odorless thinner only.

Carol Tarzier has taught painting for many years at the Academy of Art University.  Her paintings have been represented in national shows and museums, including the Salon International at the Greenhouse Gallery, the Haggin Museum, Oil Painters of America Western Regional Exhibition and at the California Art Club’s Gold Medal Show.  Carol is represented by Studio Gallery in San Francisco and MK Contemporary in Santa Cruz.
