Step into the world of rich colour and luminous surfaces as we explore the essential tools and techniques for tackling more complex still-life compositions. Using a carefully chosen collection of elements—such as flowers, metals, and glass—you’ll learn how to build a striking, cohesive theme. Discover how to design captivating reflections and unlock the secrets to painting transparency, creating the illusion that objects shimmer and glow as they overlap and are seen through one another.
Unlock the secrets of the masters and bring your painting to life in this immersive course. We’ll begin with dynamic composition sketches to build a strong foundation, then guide you step-by-step toward creating a fully rendered oil painting on canvas or board. Along the way, you’ll learn proven techniques inspired by legendary artists—giving you the tools to elevate your work with confidence. If you’ve joined us for previous Master Study courses (Sargent, Vermeer, Freud, Da Vinci), this is your chance to deepen and apply those skills in a fresh, exciting project.
New to the process? You’re in exactly the right place. You’ll be supported with clear, time-tested methods drawn from the greats, ensuring you finish with a painting you can truly be proud of. Whether you’re building on experience or starting fresh, this course is designed to help you create your strongest work yet.
In this course, we enter the lush, enchanting world of the Floral Motif. Dot & the Dandelion florists have generously provided exquisite arrangements to paint from, each bloom revealing a unique petal architecture and essential patinas for your artistic journey. We will also navigate the timeless challenges of still-life painting—colour harmony, texture, and composition. Also discover the delicate art of glasswork and the transformative beauty of patina.
