Still life compositions have been used as a vehicle for the exploration of new painting methods and ideas. Everything from Impressionism to early modern Abstraction has utilised still life as subject matter. This workshop will help to develop your understanding of colour and composition. Using simple still life set ups and working with oil paint, we will explore the way colours can interact across the surface. We will look at variations in composition and what that does to the visual impact of the painting. Keeping it simple means just that, we will concentrate on organising colour and spatial relationships, using simple set ups as in the example above. You will do a lot of drawing and colour mixing, it will be fun and I hope will enable you to develop your own work in the future what ever subject you choose to paint.

Sarah Spackman is a contemporary figurative artist particularly well known for her still life oil paintings. She works from a studio in Oxford that was once a punt building workshop. Strength of drawing and the delicate and subtle use of colour are two of the main qualities recognised in her work. Her practise focuses on the principle that good drawing is the basis of good painting and that colour should be used to enhance the organisation and definition of observed space and form. Sarah works in a considered way, with close observation. Her paintings are quiet in their presence but nonetheless powerful and engaging to the viewer. These are paintings that take a close look at things around us, take the object out of the ordinary and make the viewer look again.
Sarah trained at Byam Shaw School of Art, London and graduated from Camberwell School of art in 1981. She was elected as a member of the Royal Society of British Artists in 2019, and a member of the Small Paintings Group in 2021. Sarah’s work is in many private collections world wide as well as the collection of the Allied Irish Bank. Her work has also been selected for the Jerwood Drawing Competition , the NEAC, the ROI, the RBA and the Discerning Eye Exhibitions. Sarah exhibits regularly with several galleries throughout the UK.
