- **Event Description**: Still Life Oil Painting Workshop
Featuring Resident Artist Nelly Gonzalez-Chan

Join us for a two-part painting workshop exploring the beauty of an autumn still life with Imperial Calcasieu Museum Resident Artist Nelly Gonzalez-Chan. Across the two sessions, students will learn how to develop a still life composition from observation and build an oil painting ontop of the initial drawing.

Part One | October 24 | 12–2 PM
We’ll begin with graphite, learning to observe, sketch, and develop a still life composition from an autumn themed arrangement.

Part Two | November 7 | 12–2 PM
Students will begin layering oil paint over their graphite drawing, exploring color, value, and the process of building a painting in layers.

No prior oil painting experience is required. Come ready to slow down, observe, and enjoy the process of creating from life. The Museum will provide all necessary supplies, so students do not need to bring anything with them. We recommend wearing clothing that can get a little paint on it.
