Tuesday | Still Life Painting with a Limited Palette (All Levels)- In Person


  • Dominique Medici Studio @ Inscape Arts 815 Seattle Boulevard South Seattle, WA, 98134 United States (map)

June 16, 23, 30 2026 (3 sessions)

9:30am- 12:30, and/or 1:00- 4:00pm (Pacific Time)

Instructor: Dominique Medici

Theme: Color & Light

This session centers on transparent color through the lens of spring — florals, shifting light, and delicate color relationships. Using still life as a framework, we’ll explore how transparency, edges, texture, and atmosphere can bring greater subtlety and luminosity to a painting.

The structure of the class is intentionally flexible. Students may choose to complete one painting per week, work through several smaller studies, or develop a single sustained piece over multiple sessions. The emphasis is on observation, consistent practice, and strengthening core fundamentals through direct painting from life.

Students are encouraged to bring 1–5 objects that genuinely interest them — flowers, fruits, reflective or luminous objects, fabrics, ceramics, glass, or anything they’ve been wanting to paint. Thoughtful object selection and arrangement will be part of the creative process.

This class is designed for both beginners and experienced painters looking to deepen their understanding of color, value, composition, and paint handling in a supportive and encouraging environment.
