Autumn Finds

AutumnFinds

An engaging oil painting Marathon

Fall has a way of turning the simplest things into little treasures. A rowan branch found on a walk. A few firm porcini mushrooms brought home from the woods. Fallen golden leaves. An old ceramic pitcher that makes scarlet berries glow especially brightly.
In the two-day "Autumn Finds" Marathon, we will bring all these elements together in an expressive still life and paint it in oils.
At the heart of our painting is — an elegant combination of warm reddish-brown porcini caps, fiery rowan berries, golden leaves, and old, light-colored ceramics. By contrasting warm hues with a deep, cool background, we will evoke the fresh September air and that special autumn light you want to preserve.

Over two days, we will work through every stage, from the first broad shapes to expressive details and finishing touches. We will work step by step with clear guidance, so you will not just paint along with us but understand techniques you can use in your future work.
"Autumn Finds" — two days of painting, color, and autumn atmosphere. Let's gather our own little piece of fall and preserve it on canvas.

What the course gives you

This will be more than simply copying a reference. We will explore how to turn objects into a painting: build a cohesive composition, recognize broad color relationships, convey the volume and character of porcini mushrooms, paint ceramics with a vivid, tangible presence, and depict rowan branches — freely, lightly, and expressively.
We will pay special attention to textures. A mushroom's pale, matte stem and smooth reddish-brown cap, the rough surface of an old pitcher, glossy berries, dry, brittle leaves, and soft fabric — each material calls for its own painting language. It is through these differences that a still life begins to come alive.

Back in 1996 my parents took me to a children's art school. That was how it was done - children were sent to learn to draw. But unlike my classmates at the "art school", even then I had made up my mind that painting would be my profession.

After school I went to a college of culture, where I qualified as a "Master Artist". It is the place where they taught me not only to paint, but to cross-stitch, to knot macramé, to model and to carve... In short, everything you can possibly imagine in the crafts was passed on to me there by experienced teachers.
