Wrapping Up Our 6-Week Beginner Still Life in Oil Painting Course

cheshireartclasses

Our 6-week beginner still life in oil painting course has come to an end, and what a fantastic journey it has been! Over the past 6 weeks, we’ve guided three students through the fundamentals of oil painting, from their very first brushstroke to the final layers of detail.


By gradually building up the paint week by week, they have learned essential techniques—creating depth, mastering colour blending, and refining details. The results? Stunning still life paintings that beautifully showcase the richness and versatility of oil paint.

Below, you’ll find a visual breakdown of their progress, offering a step-by-step insight into the oil painting process. It’s a brilliant way to see how patience, practice, and layering can transform a blank canvas into a finished masterpiece!


We’re incredibly proud of our students and their dedication. Stay tuned for our next course and more inspiring artwork!


A special thank you to one of our students, Rachel, for capturing the beautiful photograph that served as our reference image for this painting course!
