A still life can be quiet, tranquil, and contemplative, or a celebration of pure color and expression. Each chapter in this introductory guide focuses on a different aspect of preparing for a painting: from studying a still life using a variety of drawing techniques to basic color theory and from painting with a limited tonal range to using the full impressionist palette. It also includes advice on materials, including how to stretch one's own canvas; discusses the work of notable still life painters, and introduces painting still life within the genre of portraiture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crowood Press, Limited, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060229521648,"sku":"9781847973139","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781847973139_p0.jpg?v=1763749087","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781847973139","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
