Still Life Painting Workshop

Influenced by the 19th century French painters, Zhaoming Wu describes his work as representational, but not traditional classical. This technique can be seen through the combination of more modern elements. Utilizing his knowledge of heightened colors and values, he makes powerful, conscious decisions about their application. Active for many years as both an artist and a teacher, Zhaoming has works exhibited in museums and private collections around the world.

The national and international publications have highlighted his vibrant career and technique. He has been featured in major domestic art magazines such as Fine Art Today, Fine Art Connoisseur, American Art Collector, Southwest Art, Art of West and Plein Air Magazine. International publications include Arte Y Libertad (Spain), Art Panorama (China) and Pratique des Arts, (French). He has published 11 books and was featured in 3 instructional DVDs.

Major awards and honors have been given to Zhaoming Wu. These organizations include the International Artist’s Magazine, Oil Painters of America and the National Oil and Acrylic Painter’s Society, among others. For 9 consecutive years, he was a juror of an international art contest at the Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona, Spain.
