Learn To Create Backgrounds
By the end of the starter still life course, you will know how to paint one of the most elusive painting elements: the background. Learn to create backgrounds that are beautiful and varied from abstract to smooth and quiet. You will understand the difference between backgrounds and background information and how to use that to create more compelling paintings.
Learn How To Translate
You will learn how to translate what you see instead of just copying what is in front of you. This is how top professional artists create that special magic you see in their paintings.
You will discover the secrets of how to keep it simple and have fun – start to finish – throughout the painting process and easy to understand concepts you probably have not heard before
This course is designed for everyone with easy to understand concepts you probably haven’t heard before. Beginners get the information fresh and undiluted and the more experienced painter will get the treat of all those ah-ha! moments that come when an elusive concept becomes clear as mountain water.
Why is still life one of the best ways to learn?
Still life provides an opportunity for richness and depth of color that is not usually found in landscape or portrait painting. Due to the narrow depth of space that the usual still life occupies (about 2 feet) it will lead the artist to learn advancing and receding planes, in order for the painting to look believable. This skill will be of great benefit later when painting landscape paintings.
The typical still life set-up can be very busy and intricate.We will discover what to resolve and what to leave abstract, variety of edgework, and when thick and thin paint helps to achieve the desired results.
