Study the classical approach to still life painting in this oil painting course taught by atelier-trained artist Angeline Shrike. Designed for students ready to deepen their painting practice, this class introduces the foundational principles of academic still life painting, including composition, lighting, color relationships, and long-term oil painting methods.
Through lectures, demonstrations, and personalized critiques, students will develop a stronger understanding of how to observe and translate form, light, and atmosphere into a finished painting. Emphasis will be placed on building a painting thoughtfully over time using traditional oil painting techniques and studio practices.
Students will create still life paintings while gaining practical experience in the classical atelier approach to oil painting.
Materials list to bring to class:
You’re welcome to order these supplies online, but if you have the time, it’s recommended to visit your local art store instead. This gives you a chance to explore the variety of materials available and compare items in person.. ArtSpot Edmonds and Artist & Craftsman Supply are great places. Blick is also a good alternative.
Oil Paint (one 4oz tube or smaller of each color):
*Be cautious not to get water soluble oil paint!
Ivory Black
Burnt Sienna
Titanium White
Raw Umber
Viridian Green
Ultramarine Blue
A container to wash paints in (any container that can double as a brush cleaning and solvent storage is good—a glass jar is ok too!)
A container for linseed oil (a glass jar is ok too!)
Paintbrushes (there are many options—you can always ask your local art store to help you put together a set that fits your budget, but you will want an assortment of sizes and styles of synthetic or mongoose brushes in filbert, flat, and round. This is an example of a starter set, but please feel free to shop around.
Roll of disposable plastic bags
