Oil Painting Demonstration, Still Life
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 січ 2016
- This is a recording of a live webinar given in January 2016.
It takes you through an effective and easy to follow approach to still life painting which will help you create more light, form and depth - and so greater realism - in your paintings.
Colour doesn’t have to be hard. To find out more about how this approach to colour can help you mix colour accurately, see value more clearly and paint with natural colour, grab my free 6-part email course “The Keys to Colour” here:

I’m finding it difficult to describe just how much I’m enjoying these videos, you’re so generous with your time and knowledge and I’m learning a great deal, especially about colour, 🙏 thank you
I totally love this video! Can't wait to watch them all! Thank you so much for your generosity!
Thank you Paul. I really enjoyed your video. It was your daffodils oil painting that drew my attention to your painting. I could not find a good yellow daffodil painting on the internet before. It was really lucky I saw your blog on a random search a few days ago. It is my wish to paint daffodils as they are my favourite spring flowers. I am new to oil paint. My order of oil alkyds and acrylics from Winsor & Newton just arrived. As soon as my brushes arrive, I will start on the oil grey scales. If you have lessons on daffodils and flower paintings in your online course, I wii be interested. I have registered with your values exercise. Thank you very much. Regards,Winnie
Daffodils are tricky because the chroma (intensity) of the colour is very high! Munsell will certainly help you achieve it, though. I don't have any tutorials just on Daffodils I'm afraid, but my Mastering Colour course teaches you this approach which you can then apply to any subject.

What a wonderful video! I've watched a couple of them and they're very engaging, interesting and educational! I've just re-discovered my love for painting, and although I'm probably more impressionistic than realist, it's great to understand your techniques and theories. I do have two comments: can we see some more? And secondly, stop saying you're boring - I could watch you paint for hours, it's wonderful seeing you get self indulgent!
Hah, thank you Anthony - I always worry that painting for too long without saying anything will get dull for people watching, but it's hard to paint AND talk!

Another thing: I "store" my greys and leftovers in big syringes whose nozzle (pardon my wording, English isn't my mother language) I seal with blutac. Paints last many weeks in this way, as long as one makes sure no air is left in the syringe
Yes syringes work really well. I stored some paint in some for over a year though, and that doesn't work so well :) The paint dries out in the syringe so I don't use them any more.
Thank you Paul for sharing this great video. i enjoyed this at 4 AM S Korea . Best regards.
Thank you soooo much for this, Paul! Really enjoyed it and learned so much.
Thank you so much, that was a real treat, very informative and a pleasure to watch
So many neat little tricks; never used a color checker just the tip of a palette knife. The color compressor checker good idea. I was taught to do a poster with the colors/value worked out. but such a good idea if you dont want to bother with a poster. You are extremely precise and every detail of your thought process as you are painting the pears is explained Nothing is left out. Easy for anyone to understand. I love how you are using Munsell but NOT the limited palette. My only experience with Munsell teachers were Reilly trained. Though lots of good information given I could easily see that the color was off as my initial teacher was trained by Dumond and Reilly, but clearly was more influenced by Dumond.
Thanks for the webinar.:) I would be happy if you host a webinar that explains how to paint different types of trees (with leaves) I always struggle with painting tree leaves and create a realistic look. Thanks beforehand.
Hi Paul. Firstly, I’ve just found your videos and I love them! I enjoy watching you work and I find the tone of your voice very soothing.
I have questions about using this thread grid though, because I can’t get the hang of it. Is your thread grid the same size as your painting and are the cells the same size? If not, how would you scale it up? Also, I find that every time I move my head or body, the still life is not in the same place in the grid, despite marking where my easel and chair are! I can’t focus on the thread grid without closing one eye and then it’s hard to paint. Hmmm🤔
Thanks,
Julie
Yes, it's the same size as the painting. The point of the grid is to help you get your head back into the same place every time. So, right at the beginning, you line up a vertical and a horizontal line with an area of the subject. These then become your reference points to help you get back into the same place. It's really just a version of the sight size practice they teach in ateliers.
And yes, for it to work, you have to do that part with one eye closed. I constantly switch from one to both eyes when I'm painting. Both eyes to stand back and view the results, one eye closed when I'm drawing things out - often when I'm squinting down to see the values, too.
What a wonderful demonstration! I am wondering how far away from your frame with thread is from your shadow box? It looks fairly close. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Nina, you're very welcome. The framer is very close - probably no more than four inches or so from the pears.
Sorry Paul-just re-watched that part and I see that it’s the same size as painting. Still can’t solve the inability to focus on it though. Maybe I’m too close to the setup?
Julie
Just replied below Julie - you're right, you have to keep one eye closed. It gets easier with practice :)
are they real pears
Yes :)
