Join us to create characterful still life paintings which capture moments from life today.
In this weekend course, led by artist Nancy Cadogan, you will experiment with different media and compositions and develop your ability to draw and paint still lifes.
Drawing inspiration from our exhibition, Michael Craig-Martin, you will consider the conceptual significance of objects in art while improving your ability to select, arrange and reimagine items from your daily life. You will create vibrant still life compositions which capture the character of everyday objects, focusing on perspective, form and colour.
Nancy Cadogan is a British-American artist celebrated for her figurative paintings which engage with themes of literature, time, and the still moments of life. Cadogan’s works have been exhibited internationally, her work is featured in numerous important collections. Her latest exhibition, Stanza explores twenty years of painting in Italy. Her upcoming project, The Lost Trees, explores our relationship with trees, time, and the natural world.
