Join photographer Charlee Brodsky for this hands-on still life composition workshop that combines drawing and photography. Brodsky will lead a discussion about infusing the still life with personal meaning, then demonstrate how lighting and composition contribute to a successful work.
This workshop has something for everyone, whether a novice learning about this artistic tradition or an experienced artist honing a new skill for an existing practice. Please bring meaningful objects to include in your still life. Cameras and phone cameras may be used, although printing will not be available.
