Synopsis:

For beginning to intermediate artists who are seeking a traditional education in oil painting. Still Life Painting Atelier provides artists with a foundation course in oil painting. Written by Gage Academy of Art instructor Michael Friel, the book is designed to lead the reader through a progression of still life lessons, starting with simple compositions that build to more complex arrangements. It begins by addressing composition through thumbnail sketches and line drawings and then progresses to painting lessons in value contrast and under-painting, brush applications, still life with limited colour, still life with full colour, handling sharp and soft edges, painting reflections and painting smooth and rough surfaces. Each chapter is presented in a logical progressive sequence and is complete with step-by-step illustrations, finished paintings, diagrams and informative tips.

About the Author: Michael Friel has taught still life painting for more than ten years at the Gage Academy of Art in Seattle, Washington, one of the leading professional art schools in the country. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the University of Washington and has shown his work extensively in the Pacific Northwest.
