Inspiration
Techniques
• Oil painting techniques often begin with the artist
sketching the subject onto the canvass with charcoal or
thinned paint.
• Oil paint usually mixed with linseed oil,artist grade mineral
spirits or other solvents to make the paint thinner,faster or
slower drying.
• Traditionally,paint was transferred to the painting surface
using paintbrushes but there are other methods, including
using palette knives and rags.
Techniques
• Oil paint remains longer than many other types of artist's
materials, enabling the artist the color, texture, or form of the
figure
• At times, the painter might even remove an entire layer of paint
and began anew.
• This can be done with a rag and some turpentine for a time le the
paint is wet but after a while the hardened layer must be scraped.
• Oil paint dries by oxidation,not evaporation and usually dry within
a span of two weeks.
 PROCESS

• A SIMPLE STILL LIFE OF SOME

DFERENT FLOWERS.
• STEP 1:
• Firstly he painted a wash of
brown red thinned out with a liitle
medium to cover the entire
canvass and then drew on a
composition using thinned burnt
umber with a small brush.
• Also altered the position of the
flowers in the bowl and pot to
adapt a composition to a
square/rectangular format
instead of a portrait one.
STEP 2 :
Started loosely blocking in the
background and the table cloth, the bowl
and the pot as well as the pears .
He also made some amendments to the
initial drawing.
He decided to add a violin to the
composition.

STEP 3 :
Started doing the painting with vintage
contrast with warm colours of the flowers.
He darkened the shadow of some parts
on the backround .
STEP 4 :
Details on the bowl and pot and some
darkening of the shadows under the fruit
were painted next.
He also applied some more depth to the
flowers and leaves.

FINAL STEP :
He worked all over the canvas, tweaking
ad adding highlights, deepening shadows
where needed.
