Traditional Still Lifewith Varvara Harmon

Image

Explore the art of still life painting alongside accomplished artist Varvara Harmon. With her simple compositions and cheerful subject matter, Harmon teaches you how to bring each scene to life with lively color. Learn how to paint a charming floral scene, a tempting mound of macarons, and more as you hone your acrylic painting skills.

Macarons

The bright colors and buttery strokes of acrylic paint make it a perfect medium for representing these festive sweet treats. I choose to place the cookies in a neutral-colored environment to help them “pop” within the composition.
