You may not have encountered the word “Tablescape”. I use it to refer to any set-up on a table that you can turn into a painting. The possibilities are limitless. You can set up a traditional still life, a food theme, a game theme, an every-day object theme, a featured table cloth or a featured floral arrangement, etc. You can view samples of my tablescapes by visiting my website, www.rebeccamartinfineart.com, and clicking on “Food and Tablescapes”. I will be adding additional paintings each month before the workshop.
In the morning, I will do a short demo on how to get started. We will take a look at the photos you have brought and select one to start your own tablescape.
Rebecca Martin
I have been a piano teacher and performer of classical music and jazz for over 40 years. During all that time, I also had a passion for art and making stuff. As a child, I made doll clothes which transtioned into making my own clothes and clothes for my friends and family. I crocheted, needlepointed, made dolls and quilted. In college, I studied piano in Paris and went to every museum many, many times. I took art history classes and dreamed of being an artist. In 1995, I bought some watercolors and painted large paintings, mostly of fish, so that I would have some original art in my home. In 2014, I began to paint in earnest and my love of art quickly turned into a passion for oil painting! I found Jeanne Hougen, a fine instructor, at pARTiculars Art Gallery in Lafayette, CO. I love to paint everything from landscapes to florals, birds, pets, food and city scenes. The possibilities are limitless! I am so grateful to have found this passion.
I paint both in my studio and en plein air. I am happiest outdoors, so painting outside suits me very well. Living in Colorado means you have beautiful landscapes to paint everywhere you look.
I am an accomplished pianist and liken the feel of fingers on ivory keys to the glide of the brush across the canvas. Being a disciplined musician paved the way for becoming an artist. I’m still teaching piano, performing and painting every day. I am thankful to live this creative life!
