Upcoming Workshops

Jeri Greenberg, "Still Lifes and Interiors"
​Oct. 29-30, 2021, Virtual workshop via Zoom

Join Jeri Greenberg in a two-day pastel workshop to find the beauty in everyday objects.  "Make the ordinary extraordinary, and change the way you see the subject matter that I love painting." -Jeri Greenberg

Day One will be focused on still life setup, composition and lighting, with all participants using the same reference photos.  Day Two will be spent on interiors, focusing on what makes a room interesting - light patterns, fabric textures and folds, objects in the room, etc.  Each day will start with a demo by Jeri.

​About Jeri Greenberg
"After many years as a fashion illustrator and sportswear designer, Jeri turned her love of graphic design towards advertising...Having time to devote herself to painting again - and falling in love with the pastel medium - has led to a new and interesting "next act" as full-time painter and teacher.  Recently relocated, Jeri teaches weekly classes at the Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington, NC, and does demos and workshops around the country, as well as jurying pastel exhibits."  Learn more about Jeri Greenberg at her website, jerigreenbergart.com.​
