Pam Cherry is currently working towards gaining her certificate in Still Life Paintings with the London Art College. The still life course is tutored by artist and tutor Alan Dedman. He is very knowledgeable about still life paintings and drawings. Alan creates his own still life painting in his own studio. He often studies old master paintings and still life and works of famous artists. Alan is quite happy to impart his extensive knowledge about everything still life to students.
The two paintings below, have been beautifully painted by Pam and we hope you’ll like them too. An excerpt from Pam’s introduction to Alan Dedman when starting the course is below.
I would like to improve my painting and drawing skills and improve on my lights and dark too. Due to this I feel I need to learn how to set up lighting for a still life and make a still life come to ‘life’! I have a tendency to paint a picture with not enough variation in tone. Furthermore I would like to learn to hold my pencil and brushes correctly and not grip them so tightly. In addition I hope the course will encourage me to do more painting and drawing under instruction at home during the winter months.
Do you enjoy painting and drawing still life set ups like Pam? Perhaps you would like to experiment drawing and painting objects using different mediums? For the still life course you can use all mediums including mixed media and you can mould the course to accommodate your needs. Why not head over to our website and take a look at the course details. You can even view the still life student gallery to see what current and previous students have been painting drawing. This course is suitable for artist of all ages and abilities and we hope that if you enroll today you get contact so we can display your work on our blog too!
