This week my students and I will hang a little restaurant show in Sacramento. We've been painting still life's of fruit and flowers and silver coffee pots and tea cups. The things we women like to paint. If you want to learn to paint well, paint still life's often. It is good exercise for your eyes. Or should I say it is a good exercise for "seeing".
Squint at it. Paint large shapes. Forget about the details. Exaggerate the light. Have fun. Don't even think about painting an apple, flower, coffee pot or tea cup. Paint what you see as you SQUINT!
