Peaches in the Bowl.

Service Description

🍑🎨 Peaches in the Bowl Oil Painting on Canvas | Ages 9–14 Duration: 3 hours 📍 Monet Campus – 753 Centre Road, Bentleigh East All materials and art smocks are provided. 🎨 FOR KIDS A bowl of peaches may look simple at first—but look closer. The fruit has soft colour changes, warm highlights and rounded shadows. The porcelain bowl reflects light differently, while the leaves add cool green shapes around the glowing peaches. Together, these details turn an everyday subject into a beautiful still life. In this workshop, you’ll create your own oil painting on canvas and learn how artists make flat shapes appear solid and three-dimensional. You’ll explore form, light, shadow and colour while painting smooth porcelain and fresh fruit that looks almost good enough to eat. This is a welcoming introduction to oil painting, with time to blend, adjust and build each part carefully. You can follow the composition while still choosing your own tones and finishing touches. 👨‍👩‍👧 FOR PARENTS This workshop introduces students to the foundations of still-life painting in a clear and engaging way. By studying peaches, leaves and a porcelain bowl, they will learn how highlights, mid-tones and shadows create convincing form. Oil paint is especially valuable for this subject because it allows colours to be blended gradually and details to be refined without rushing. Students will develop observation, patience and brush control while gaining confidence with a traditional artist’s medium. For families looking for a thoughtful alternative to extra screen time, this three-hour session offers sustained focus and genuine creative involvement. Students are guided by professional artist-teachers, while also being encouraged to make independent choices and trust what they see. All materials and art smocks are supplied, and the finished canvas can become a warm addition to the home or a meaningful handmade gift. Spots are filling up fast! Be sure to book soon so your child doesn't miss out on this creative session Sometimes the best way to slow down is to notice the beauty in something simple—and paint it with care. 💛
