Course Overview
Join John Klein for this fun and informative workshop, where you will paint a still life painting. Bring along reference images or objects and use these to inspire the creation of a vibrant acrylic still life painting.
Learn to see shapes and keep your colours bold and bright. Learn about colour mixing, composition, tone and much more. John has been a finalist in many awards including the Mosman, Hunters Hill and Kennedy Prizes. His work is held in private collections in Europe, North America and throughout Australia. He looks forward to working with you to create something beautiful that you will be proud of.
