Three-Day Workshop
Instructor Sarah Sedwick
Studio Artiste, Wilmington, NC
Tuition $550


Paint looser and more confidently during this 3-day workshop with Oregon artist Sarah Sedwick. Take a step-by-step approach to alla prima oil painting, from black-and-white studies to brilliant color. Build a beautiful composition with life and movement, get a new perspective on the still life, and learn tips for bringing inspiration to your home studio practice.
Learn the fundamentals of good design, creating sketches and value studies to plan a composition that works. Using a split-primary palette as your color foundation - two reds, two yellows, and two blues - you’ll do quick, fun exercises to focus on loosening up your brushwork before creating a finished piece. Sarah will demonstrate, and work with each student individually.
Instruction is in oils, and acrylics are welcome - particularly Open acrylics, that stay wet longer. Class size limited to 10 students. All levels welcome, age 15 and above.
