Why Still Life?
Still life is your playground. It’s everywhere around you—accessible, immediate, and brimming with potential! Drawing from real objects allows you to play with composition, light, and form while experimenting with exciting new techniques and materials. Plus, you can find most of your subjects at home or in the garden. It’s all about observing the world around you and embracing the beauty of everyday objects.
Testimonials

“Working with Debbie was an absolute joy! Exciting new methods and ways of working quickly and loosely!”

“After working with Debbie for many years, each time I make a mark on paper or put brush to canvas, I am guided by her wise and inspiring words to ‘loosen up’ or ‘just go for it’!”

“I find you very inspiring, and what you say in your teaching sessions is like you know exactly what I’m thinking without me saying anything. Debbie gave me permission to play with my art, doing lots of fast and loose drawings, and then some more, which helped me loosen up, keep looking and take risks.”

“I fell in love with the freedom and fun that Debbie Mackinnon exhibits in her mixed media masterpieces. Her work has energy and colour and an ease of movement that is fresh and lively. As a tutor she is easy to listen to as she shares her knowledge, she is helpful and encouraging…”
