Painting Still Lifes Step by Step by Mary Mclean
This book takes advantage of the interest in trompe l'oeil by presenting a complete course in the basic techniques of painting realistic still lifes, florals and fruit. The author, an acknowledged master of realism among the decorative painters, takes a unique approach to this painting style, basecoating in acrylics, then highlighting and shading in oils. Subject matter of the ten projects includes favourites among decorative painters, glass jam jars, enameled tinware, water jugs, flowers, fabric, and wood - all important textures in still life painting. The tone of the book is friendly and encouraging, with hints, tips and problem/solution sidebars scattered throughout.
Mary McLean, CDA, is a popular speaker at national decorative painting conventions and teaches classes and seminars in her home studio. Her work has been published in Decorative Artist's Workbook and other decorative painting magazines. She has published over 60 pattern packets and four project books with Gretchen Cagle Publications.
