Service Description

In this 8 week course, you will look at works of 4 past masters who specialised in the art of Still Life Painting. We will look at works by William Nicholson, Emil Carlsen, Samuel Peploe and Jean Simeon Chardin, as nature reveals itself through the play and passing of light over curated objects. The practise of this kind of artistic study could be viewed as a distilled moment where man meets time; supported by the study of inanimate objects, the juxtaposition and contrast to light passing over these objects in time makes our own existence ever apparent. This course suits those who have used and worked in oil paint before.
