Painting Still Lifes: Step by Step
McLean's step-by-step approach to painting still lifes is a complete yet basic course in techniques used to realistically depict everything from glass jelly jars to enameled tinware to florals and fruits. After "Materials and Preparation" are discussed, the author's "Basics of Realism" explores form, value, and perspective. With the focus on the mixed media of oils and acrylics, McLean provides traceable patterns for each of a variety of skill-building depictions and ends with a listing of resources.Whitney ScottCopyright © American Library Association.
