3. Still Life
There are many varied textures in the things we include in our still life paintings, and many of these textures can also be used in landscapes, buildings and so on. Here are just a few.
Shiny and dull
The difference between a shiny surface and a dull surface is easy to create when we learn how to use edges and value contrasts correctly. Here I'll show you how to do this as we paint a still life together.
