Still Life Drawing & Painting

Still Life Drawing & Painting

Be inspired by still life drawing and painting techniques, capturing light, texture, and form with pencil, charcoal, and paint.

Immerse yourself in the timeless art of still life with our Still Life Drawing Classes, where you'll develop your skills in observation, composition, and rendering using pencil, charcoal, ink, and paints. From simple objects to complex arrangements, you will learn to capture the essence of form, light, texture, and colour. 

Throughout this drawing lesson, you will be introduced to new techniques: mastering basic shapes and proportions, exploring shading and tonal values, and experimenting with textures like glass, metal, and fabric. You’ll also dive into colour theory and painting techniques, learning to mix realistic colours and use expressive brushwork. 

By the end of the course, you’ll have a comprehensive portfolio of studies which chart your journey, and a final piece that showcases your unique style.

No Venue

All City Academy tutors are experienced professionals from theatre, film/TV and performance industries. So whilst they're training you they may also be rehearsing for a West End show or working on a movie. We like that and we do believe it makes a difference in class.
