We will draw and paint a still life utilizing some specific techniques first practiced by Painters of the 17th through 19th centuries. Breaking down this process step by step we begin by developing a precise linear drawing. Next we proceed to underpainting, then finishing with our main color pass and glazing. With this deliberate process and mindful application of each brushstroke, we will produce a sculpturally believable painting that glows.
