The Cheshire Art League is hosting artist Zbigniew Grzyb at their in-person March meeting. Zbigniew will demonstrate his approach to still life drawing, beginning with basics such as composition and structure and working to final stages including details and shading.  He will discuss how the eye works during drawing, how to deal with the space between the still life and the paper, and the psychological aspect of getting on paper what the eye sees.

Zbigniew Grzyb studied at the Academy of Fine Art in Cracow, Poland, graduating with a master's degree. He left Poland for further study, and traveled through Italy, France and Turkey exhibiting his work. He emigrated to the United States in 1973 and in 1983 he had his first one-person museum show, at the New Britain Museum of Art. He was included in the Mattatuck Museum's Biennial and most recently had a show at the National Museum in Przemyl, Poland. In addition to showing his work throughout New England and New York, he is a recipient of Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant, and in 2008 received a grant from the Greater Hartford Arts Council. His work is in the collection of the New Britain Museum of American Art and the State of Connecticut Artists Collection.
