Finished Painting

Finished Painting on brown Pastelmat 12″ x 12″

In this still life project I take you right from setting up the objects, lighting it, sketching from life, through to the actual colour work.

My still life paintings are a step out of my own comfort zone by working from life, and I hope I can share my entire process with you here and inspire you to have a go. 

If you’d like to work along with me you’ll find the reference image to download below. I included a few alternative shots including one with the objects on a more plain fabric.

But I also encourage you to have some fun setting up your own composition!
