What You Will Learn In This Course

A complete step-by-step course with over 17 hours of lessons and over 70 videos

This course is part of a complete training program designed to build strong skills

Getting Started

 Learn how to choose the right brushes, colors and materials without wasting money. You will also discover a simple technique to create an accurate drawing before painting — even if you don't know how to draw — and practical tips to progress efficiently even with limited time.

Painting Small Still Life Objects

Begin with a series of small objects, each designed to develop a specific painting skill.

You will paint a candle to work on strong contrasts and the delicate glow of a flame, a hammer to study metal reflections, and a glass of milk to understand transparency and volume. You will also paint an apple to practice smooth color transitions and a rose to capture vibrant reds and delicate petals.

Painting a Flower Bouquet

This complete painting focuses on a bouquet arranged in a kraft paper vase, an excellent subject to study warm browns, folds and texture.

You will also learn how to paint flowers and leaves with subtle color variations, creating depth and a lively composition

Painting a Fruit Composition

This still life combines several fruits and textures, making it a rich exercise in color and realism.

You will paint a pomegranate, mandarins, wrinkled dates and cherries, while learning to create convincing textures, vibrant colors and volume in darker objects

Painting a Modern Food Composition

In this demonstration you will paint a modern composition with a burger and fries, a perfect subject to explore many different textures and colors.

You will learn how to render the burger bun as well as the visible ingredients inside, along with crispy fries and the wooden board beneath them, creating a lively and appetizing still life.

Painting a Classical Flower Composition

This painting features a pottery vase filled with white lilies, a classic still life subject.

You will work on the soft textures of the flowers, the earthy tones of the ceramic vase and a textured gray background, creating a balanced and elegant composition

Painting a Complex Still Life Composition - Final Painting

This final painting brings together many different objects and materials, making it a rich exercise in observation and technique.

You will paint a wine glass, playing cards, colorful glass spheres, a ceramic cup filled with coffee, a transparent token and a small wooden camel sculpture, each with its own texture and reflections.

This final composition allows you to apply everything you have learned throughout the course while developing confidence in painting complex still life scenes

An Oil Painting Course You Can Also Follow With Acrylic

Even though the course is taught using oil painting, it is fully adapted to acrylic painting. The essential fundamentals are the same: color, volume, light, composition, precision of gesture, and more.

From the very beginning of the program, a specific pathway allows students who paint with acrylics to easily adapt the materials, mediums, and drying times.

As a result, you can follow the entire course using acrylic paint and progress with the same fundamentals, just as many students already do with excellent results.
