Still Life Painting with Dark Background: Resolving

[New Masters Academy]

In this lesson, instructor Joe Altwer will complete his still-life painting of non-reflective objects against a dark background. You will watch Joe reassess his painting to see which areas need further refinement. Then, he will show you how he plays with edge quality to give the still-life more interest.

This lesson belongs to the course Still Life Painting in Sight-Size Method. In this 14-week course, Joe Altwer will introduce you to still-life painting using sight-size. You will explore how to prepare a workspace for the sight-size method. Joe will demonstrate three oil paintings, progressing from beginner to intermediate. You will learn to paint a simple pear and still-lifes of multiple objects against different backgrounds. Joe will start with a limited palette, then slowly transition to a full-color palette. This course will help you effectively capture the reality on your canvas and improve your color mixing and painting skills.

Throughout this course, you’ll have access to the NMA community for feedback and critiques to improve your work as you progress.
