Over the course of this two-week course, artist Daniel Shadbolt will lead students through the process of painting a warm-colour still life, working from a subject such as a bowl of apricots or cherries. The focus will be on creating depth, richness, and harmony through the use of warm colour.
Each session will include a live painting demonstration under artificial light, with Daniel exploring his approach to colour, palette selection, and the practical considerations involved in painting from a still life. Students will have the opportunity to observe the development of the painting while considering how colour, light, temperature, and tonal relationships contribute to the finished work.
The class will also include discussion of palette choices and the broader principles of still-life painting. Following the sessions, students will receive a written critique through the class message board, providing further guidance and reflection on their work.

Daniel Shadbolt is a painter from Hertfordshire, England (born in 1980). He graduated from Chelsea College of Art and Design (2003) and the Royal Drawing School (2004) where he also won the Drawing Prize. He has taught painting in London for 20 years and is a member of the New English Art Club (elected in 2015). He paints primarily from observation with a sensitivity for expressive handling of oil paint. His approach to light and brushwork stems from a tradition of mainly French painters who are concerned with atmospheric colour. He published ‘Painting and Drawing the Head’ in 2016. He has work in the Ruth Borchard Collection (2011) and in private collections worldwide. He has exhibited widely, including at the National Portrait Gallery (2002), with the Royal Society of Portrait Painters (2026), from whom he received the Bulldog Bursary (2009) and the Non-Members Prize (2017) and he has had several solo exhibitions including with 155a Gallery (2024). He was awarded the Cass Art Prize from the Hampstead Art Society (2023), the John Goss Award from the Hertford Art Society (2015) and the Welwyn Trophy (2012). In 2021 he was commissioned by the Peninsula Hotel and in 2022 he was commissioned for the Anomie Collections 1 series. He lives and works in London and is married to the painter, Jessica Biggs.
