Still life is one of the most traditional and enduring subjects. It is one of the most satisfying for both the artist and the viewer. In still-life painting, you can learn all the basics -form, value, lighting, composition, etc. - that will allow you to paint any subject well. You'll quickly see satisfying results with still-life painting.
This book offers instruction and encouragement to all painters, regardless of the medium the painter prefers. Oil, watercolor, pastel -they're all here. We have assembled this book from some of the best teachings on still-life painting available — everything the beginner needs to get off to a smooth start. In the first chapters, you will find useful information on materials, color, depicting form, and special techniques for still-life subjects. The latter part of the book contains twenty-two demonstrations in oil, watercolor and pastel. The only additional ingredients you will need are practice and the knowledge that your interest and effort will overcome any lack of that elusive quality we call "talent."
20 artists share their techniques of still life painting in a variety of mediums, including exercises and demonstrations by Jan Kunz, Doug Dawson, Ted Goerschner, Joyce Pike and others.
