Learn to Paint a Beautiful Still Life in Oil at Vitruvian Studio.

We do a lot of still life painting here at Vitruvian Studio because it’s an excellent way to develop painting skills. We live in a world that contains an endless variety of material objects to paint, and each new still life arrangement presents different structures and surfaces, local colors and textures that challenge students to strengthen and diversify their painting technique.

This extensive online course presents the complete procedure for painting a still life in oil that we’ve been teaching here for years. The course is thorough, featuring 43 distinct lessons and over 17 hours of video. We begin with introductory lessons about paint, painting technique, and color that provide general concepts for students to keep in mind while working. Then, the course takes a deep dive into a full-length video demonstration that walks students through the sequence of steps for completing a finished painting. We assume no prior oil painting knowledge or experience, and the course proceeds sequentially, each lesson building upon what was presented previously.

In addition to the videos, written material is included on each lesson page that details key concepts to keep in mind while working. This written content is also available in handy downloadable PDFs at the beginning of each module for offline reading.

As with all our online courses, once you’ve enrolled your access will never expire. This allows students to absorb the material at their own pace, and return to review the course at any time in the future.
