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 doesn’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.

I believe that having a daily painting practice is the fastest way to improve your skills. It doesn't matter what you paint or how long you paint each day, as long as you stay consistent with your practice. In this class, I'm going to show you how you can find inspiration in the most mundane objects. For this class, I found inspiration in my refrigerator and I painted a series of small fruit studies. Each fruit study can be completed in about 20 minutes and each one will help you improve your drawing, and color mixing skills. You'll also learn a lot about value and creating form.
