Additional information
We will look closely at examples of still-life paintings and investigate how they were constructed—how the ground was prepared, whether an optical device was used, how paints were mixed—as well as what role oil glazes played in creating volume and light. And you’ll make a small still-life painting of your own, with Kwast’s guidance.
