You'll quickly see satisfying results with still-life painting. This book offers instruction and encouragement to all painters, regardless of the medium the painter prefers. Oil, watercolor, pastel -they're all here. We have assembled this book from some of the best teachings on still-life painting available — everything the beginner needs to get off to a smooth start.
