In this lesson I will take you through the process of painting a still life set up in acrylic using a photo reference. I will show you each step of the process from planing to completion.

You will learn about

- working with a limited palette

- Planing and composition

- Creating an underpainting to set up values

- Building up layers

- How to paint glass objects

- Making changes along the way as your artwork develops

- the importance of Value and Contrast

This class is suited to artists that already have a bit of painting experience, if you are a beginner I would recommend watching some of my other acrylic painting classes first before tackling this one. I also recommend watching the class in full first before you attempt to paint along or have a go yourself so that you have a good understanding of the overall process before you begin.

Below is the reference image that I am working from, feel free to save and print this image for your own use.
