Still life 2 day workshop with PJ Lynch this March at The Schoolhouse for Art.

As an illustrator, PJ continues to paint and draw regularly still life objects and scenes and situations, and from life as a way of keeping his skills honed, however, in recent years he has painted and drawn more and more just for the challenge, and for the sheer love of it. He wishes to share the passion for representational art with the artists who join his course.

Artists will paint in oils and draw in charcoal, and the subjects will be and object or objects. Artists will work hard, will learn techniques and theories, and, PJ promises, “ a lot of fun too”.
