I recently completed a weekly still life painting course at Sadie Valerie Atelier in San Francisco. Sadie is a masterful classical artist, teaching indirect oil painting and still life. This was a fun and challenging experience. I’m so glad I did it, and completed the open studio classes having a better understanding of natural light, color and dimension. These were the first painting classes of any kind that I have ever taken.
