We especially love the inverted bottles painting which create a playful and imaginative composition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, these works demonstrate how our Still Life Certificate Course encourages students to experiment with colour, composition and personal interpretation while building solid technical foundations. Through structured projects and tutor feedback, students develop the confidence to move beyond traditional still life arrangements and explore their own visual language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find full details about the course here &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.londonartcollege.co.uk\/art-courses\/still-life-certificate-course\/\">https:\/\/www.londonartcollege.co.uk\/art-courses\/still-life-certificate-course\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well done to Barbara on an engaging set of still life paintings that show both creativity and growing confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"1435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2-2.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2-2-768x1080.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2-2-770x1083.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2-2-360x506.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"1435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/3-1.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/3-1-768x1080.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/3-1-770x1083.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/3-1-360x506.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"1083\" src=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1-3.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1-3-768x815.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1-3-770x818.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1-3-360x382.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#4f697e\">If you would like to receive a roundup of all of our blog posts once a week to keep you inspired in your inbox, why not sign up to our newsletter.
