Still Life Oil Painting Workshop

Join me for a full and creatively enriching day of still life oil painting at Pegasus Art.
My teaching approach is centred on meeting each person exactly where they are. Whether you’re new to oils or already experienced, you’ll receive personalised, thoughtful guidance to deepen your practice and expand your natural painting approach.

Throughout the day, you’ll explore:

• How to truly see shape and proportion
• Approaches to colour mixing and harmony
• Building structure, light and depth
• How to translate observation into expressive, confident marks
• Practical strategies for composition and simplifying your subject

With a balance of demonstrations, mindful exercises, individual coaching and plenty of supported painting time, you’ll build foundational skills while also developing your own artistic voice. Expect a warm, encouraging atmosphere that welcomes curiosity, experimentation, and personal growth.

• How to see shape, proportion and tonal relationships more accurately
• How to mix colours intentionally and cleanly
• How to build form and depth through paint handling
• How to create a balanced and engaging composition
• Techniques for expressive mark-making
• Ways to strengthen your own painting style

This workshop is suitable for all skill levels—from complete beginners to experienced painters wanting a fresh approach.

• Full-day tuition (10:00–16:00)
• Guided exercises and demonstrations
• Individual coaching and feedback
• Still life setups provided
• Tea/coffee breaks (please bring your own lunch)

A materials list will be emailed after booking.
