Description

The equivalent of a foundation course in traditional oil painting for beginning to intermediate level artists; this in-depth book uses the still life as a practical way to master oil techniques. The still life is a practical; forgiving genre as it does not require the likeness of a portrait or the accurate proportions of the figure and; unlike the landscape; it doesnrsquo;t change with the weather. Instead; it gives aspiring artists ample time to study and the opportunity to look closer. It can be used as a purely formal subject for drawing and painting techniques; or a platform for emotional expression using personal symbolism and imagery. However; though the still life is used throughout as a teaching tool; this is first and foremost a book about oil painting. It begins with simple compositions that build to more complex arrangements. Starting with essential information on how to best set up your studiomdash;including lighting; equipment; materials (paints; solvents; brushes; mediums); and preparing your canvas and paper for oil paintingmdash;Still Life Painting Atelier then offers concrete lessons in a logical progressive sequence; with step-by-step illustrations; finished paintings; diagrams and tips. Chapters cover: bull; How to address composition through thumbnail sketches and line drawings bull; Using underpainting to study the characteristics of light and shade bull; The basics of color theory and color mixing bull; How to use a variety of brushes to create sharp and soft edges bull; Techniques that are helpful when painting metal and glass bull; How to apply glazing and scumbling to bring luminosity and texture
