Sometimes, the simplest subjects offer the richest painting experiences. In this two-week class with Michael Weller, the focus will be on painting the simple still life, taking the time to really look, observe, and paint what you see. Working with a limited subject will help you relax, loosen up, and discover that slowing down can actually lead to greater accuracy and more expressive paintings.
Through demonstrations, you’ll see how Michael approaches a still life, from the initial drawing to color choices and the application of paint. He will share his thought process, techniques, and the things he finds most helpful along the way.
This class is for anyone who wants to step away from the pressure to produce and enjoy spending time with a subject, exploring it more deeply. The process will be absorbing, playful, and full of discoveries!

Michael Weller studied librarianship in Manchester, England and realized early on he didn’t want to be a librarian. Life-drawing cheered him up. Later he did a degree in Fine Art and studied portrait-painting at Lavender Hill Studios and drawing and painting with the New English Art Club. In 2015 he won the Le Clerc Fowle Medal for a group of outstanding paintings at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters’ annual exhibition, and the Winsor & Newton Award for a painting at the New English Art Club annual exhibition.
