Old Masters in Training: Copy Studies and Still Life
Copying the Old Masters has trained painters for five centuries, and it still anchors our atelier teaching today. Here, students work on classical copy studies and floral still lifes — learning how the masters constructed form with a limited palette, controlled edges and patient glazing.
Old Masters in Training: Copy Studies and Still Life
Alongside the copies sit observational still lifes painted from life in the studio: fruit, flowers and drapery arranged under a single light source, the classic exercise for understanding colour temperature and tonal value.
Work this way yourself on our oil painting course or begin with the fundamentals on the London drawing course.
