Paint a rich, textured festive still life with Alvira Ferreira using palette knife techniques and thick layers of oil paint.
In this Christmas-themed workshop, you’ll create an impasto painting inspired by seasonal elements like pinecones, evergreen branches, cinnamon sticks, and berries. You’ll explore colour mixing, composition, and expressive texture as you build up paint to form depth and movement in your work.
You will work from a real still-life setup, learning to observe form, light, and tonal contrast while applying paint in bold, confident strokes. This is a relaxed and beginner-friendly session, ideal for anyone wanting to experiment with oils in a creative and festive setting.
What you’ll paint:
A Christmas still life featuring pine needles, cinnamon sticks, and pinecones
Bold impasto texture created using palette knives
A balanced composition with strong colour and tonal contrast
What to expect:
A demonstration of palette knife techniques and impasto methods.
Step-by-step guidance from artist Alvira Ferreira.
All materials provided, including oil paints, knives, canvas, etc.
Holiday treats, warm drinks, and great company.
