Still Life in oils, with Emily Roberts

mmerse yourself in this 3 day course learning to paint a still life in oils, using traditional techniques and materials and based in a lovely light fine art studio on our beautiful Falmouth campus.

Working on a gesso panel, you will first draw your composition onto the panel, as we explore the history of, and symbolic meaning historically imbued within, still-life painting.

After an introduction to oil painting techniques and the history of the limited palette, we will focus on practical and technical skills, gradually building layers of paint and learning to create depth of colour, texture and light effect.

Through a series of practical exercises, you’ll experiment with wet into wet painting, scraping back, glazes and impasto as methods for creating a beautifully observed oil painting from life which you will take home at the end of the course.

This course is taught by Emily Roberts, an artist and teacher whose work is held in private collections across Europe and North America.

All materials you’ll need are included.

Cost: £395, includes all materials needed.
