Realistic Still Life Painting:

From Setup to Finish

Learn More

Hey, I'm Emily!

I’m Emily Valentine Hutton, a self-taught oil and acrylic painter based in Toronto, Canada. I originally studied science at the University of Guelph, but eventually shifted my focus to art and began painting full-time. Since then, I’ve sold original works to collectors worldwide and earned several international awards for my work.

While I’ve explored a wide range of subjects throughout my career, my recent series focuses on bold, vibrant still lifes. Right now, I’m refining my artistic voice and continuing to experiment within the still life genre.

At the end of the course you will be able to:

Paint with Structure

You’ll move through a clear, repeatable process from composition and drawing to block-in and final refinement without guessing your next step.

Control Color and Values

You’ll mix clean neutrals, manage temperature shifts, and build believable light and shadow that give your paintings depth and realism.

Handle Complex Surfaces

Glass, metal, fabric, fruit, reflections and textures will feel manageable because you’ll understand how they are built, not just how they look.
