PREVIEW 5 MINUTE CLIP OF THIS VIDEO!
Robert Johnson recently conducted a still-life workshop here in Liliedahl Fine Art Studio for a full complement of students. Mr.
Johnson is a highly respected and sought after instructor, and is
in great demand across the country. Filmed using 3 digital cameras,
you can participate as an observer by watching this painting unfold
stroke-by-stroke just as it was performed for the workshop participants.
Beautiful, patterned, oriental rugs have become one of the hallmarks
of Mr. Johnson’s still life compositions, and he is frequently
asked how to paint such fabrics and designs. His use of underpainting
colors in thin applications, crowned with delicate strokes of the
brush and palette knife make the process seem effortless. He fields
questions from the workshop audience about subjects students most
want to know. If you have never studied with this prolific artist,
this is the video to own as an alternative. And if you have, then
this program will reinforce all that you have learned from previous
study with Mr. Johnson.
His direct, yet gentle, approach to applying the paint is poetry
in motion. He proves that even the most commonly available objects
can be arranged and painted as a composition of entrancing beauty.
The oleander flowers were taken from a scrubby bush behind the studio,
the pears from the grocery, the pitcher from a find in an antique
shop, and the rug from a flea market.
