Description
Learn oil painting with local artist Liz Gridley as she invites you to bring a Relic to feature in your Still Life. (A relic: an item you have kept from someone who has died.)
Using oil paint, we will initially use a monochrome palette and focus on light & shadow when spending time with our objects and creating a new form for remembrance. In week two we will integrate a limited palette of colour as a glazing layer, developing the object's personality.
This workshop is perfect for both beginners and artists with experience in oils.

Liz Gridley
Liz Gridley’s oil paintings explore her experiences of states of hyper-emotion alongside the personal inevitability of death & death care. This point of caring for others in death is shared across cultures and has dialogue and ritual which can be culturally celebrated or silenced. Gridley’s works make room for conversation that is often pushed aside as taboo. Through contemporary figurative and still life paintings Gridley reflects her internal states & research to connect viscerally with the viewer.
In 2024, Gridley won the Featured artist award in the “Victorian Artists Society Coterie” by the Hansen Little Foundation. and was a finalist in the Lester Portrait Prize in WA"
