Theorem is a traditional painting technique in which oil paint is applied through a set of stencils to a velvet background. Subjects are typically still life arrangements of fruits or flowers. Original works are displayed in prominent museums and private collections and this decorative art has been regaining recognition and interest. Beginning students will learn the concepts involved in producing a series of stencils from line drawings and the techniques in the use of color and shading, and free hand painting. Students will learn realism in color, shading and detail. Learning these techniques along with an historical perspective will provide a good background for further study.
