Download or read book Still Life Painting Atelier written by Michael Friel and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The equivalent of a foundation course in traditional oil painting for beginning to intermediate level artists, this in-depth book uses the still life as a practical way to master oil techniques. The still life is a practical, forgiving genre as it does not require the likeness of a portrait or the accurate proportions of the figure and, unlike the landscape, it doesn’t change with the weather. Instead, it gives aspiring artists ample time to study and the opportunity to look closer. It can be used as a purely formal subject for drawing and painting techniques, or a platform for emotional expression using personal symbolism and imagery. However, though the still life is used throughout as a teaching tool, this is first and foremost a book about oil painting. It begins with simple compositions that build to more complex arrangements. Starting with essential information on how to best set up your studio—including lighting, equipment, materials (paints, solvents, brushes, mediums), and preparing your canvas and paper for oil painting—Still Life Painting Atelier then offers concrete lessons in a logical progressive sequence, with step-by-step illustrations, finished paintings, diagrams and tips. Chapters cover: • How to address composition through thumbnail sketches and line drawings • Using underpainting to study the characteristics of light and shade • The basics of color theory and color mixing • How to use a variety of brushes to create sharp and soft edges • Techniques that are helpful when painting metal and glass • How to apply glazing and scumbling to bring luminosity and texture

Download or read book Van Gogh Still Life written by Vincent Van Gogh and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-22 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Still-life painting has served artists for centuries as a sort of "practice" activity where the "subjects" are totally cooperative, just sitting or standing inanimately in view. Vincent Van Gogh was able to take the genre to new heights of expression, infusing life and vitality into shoes, smoked fish, fruits, vegetables, books, human skulls, mugs and dishes -- in early years by unique juxtapositions of items, in later years by the technique of his swirling, pulsating background. In some of his finest work, the objects are inseparably linked with the human elements that inspired them, edging over into literary and social criticism.As with other motifs of Vincent Van Gogh's artistic repertoire, his still life paintings enjoyed their zenith in the five-year span from 1886-1890, which also marked the master's last years of life. The lively color, form, and swirling post-Impressionistic grace found in art of inanimate objects form another proof of Van Gogh's genius. NOTE: An appendix featuring "Living Life" of the artists' depictions of birds and animals, contrasting the "Still Life" images, is an extra bonus found at the end of this volume.

Download or read book Pierre Bonnard written by Pierre Bonnard and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2009 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The vibrant late paintings of Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) are considered by many to be among his finest achievements. Working in a small converted bedroom of his villa in the south of France, Bonnard suffused his late canvases with radiant Mediterranean light and dazzling color. Although his subjects were close at hand-usually everyday scenes taken from his immediate surroundings, such as the dining room table being set for breakfast, or a jug of flowers perched on the mantelpiece - Bonnard rarely painted from life. Instead, he preferred to make pencil sketches in small diaries and then rely on these, along with his memory, once in the studio." "This volume, which accompanies the first exhibition to focus on the interior and related still-life imagery from the last decades of Bonnard's long career, presents more than seventy-five paintings, drawings, and works on paper, many of them rarely seen in public and in some cases, little known. Although Bonnard's legacy may be removed from the succession of trends that today we consider the foundation of modernism, his contribution to French art in the early decades of the twentieth century is far more profound than history has generally acknowledged. In their insightful essays and catalogue entries the authors bring fresh critical perspectives to the ongoing reappraisal of Bonnard's reputation and to his place within the narrative of twentieth-century art."--Jacket

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a documentary account of William Nicholson's life and work.
