A still life is more than painting objects—it's about observing light, shape, and colour with patience.
A few tips for my learners:
✨ Start with a light pencil sketch.
💧 Use clean water for fresh, transparent washes.
🎨 Paint from light to dark and build layers gradually.
🖌️ Let each layer dry before adding the next to avoid muddy colours.
👀 Keep your highlights by preserving the white of the paper.
🌸 Most importantly, enjoy the process—every painting teaches you something new.
Practice consistently, trust the flow of water, and let every brushstroke help you grow. Happy painting! 💙
