Hello Patreon Subscribers! Here is a quick still life demo of a pear I did recently. I attached a photo of my subject set up if you would like pull it up during the video. Still life studies are a great way to practice. They don't take very long but offer a lot of valuable learning information. Also don't feel you have to set up a still life to practice. If that is to inconvenient just pull up a photo. Working from life is best but I rather you get practice in than not because setting up a still life was too much of a hassle. As I said before, since we have a small group here I am open for requests! What would you like to see painted? What are you having trouble with? What questions can I answer?

Great practice, I've enjoyed it very much.

Where is the reference photo?

Debi Hampton

Thank you! I especially liked the comment that it was almost like you were wrapping the paint around the pear.

I had an instructor tell me that along time ago and it always stuck with me as a good way of describing it.

Shannon Reed

Thanks, Chris. Love this lesson and the apple as well. I am learning to see the colors and values, finally!

I was wondering if you could mention when you're moving from using spirits to linseed oil in your painting, in general.

Chris Fornataro

I will! I am actually working on a way to show my paint thinner and medium on screen so you can see how often I clean my brush and when I use medium.

Great demo. I take it that when you talk about shape and values , this is synonymous with "planes"?
