Led by renowned artist and educator Andrew Judd, this short course explores the dynamic potential of still life painting, moving beyond representation towards creating works that vibrate with life, energy, and colour. In the spirit of spring, students will work from a variety of arrangements, including florals, using both photographic references and direct observation to develop their compositions.

Andrew will guide students in painting with gesture and expressiveness, covering key techniques in composition, colour mixing, media and tool handling, and how to use a reference as a starting point. Students will explore how gesture, movement, and layering can bring richness and dynamism to their still life pieces, allowing them to create paintings that feel both intentional and alive.

Open to all painting media, this course is perfect for artists looking to deepen their understanding of still life while exploring colour, form, and artistic interpretation.
