Still lifes are a fundamental part of any artist's repertoire. Now anyone can bring simple still lifes to life in vibrant color with this delightful trace-and-color guide. Inside, six detailed templates are provided to help the beginning artist get started with a line drawing that they can color or paint in the medium of their choice. Artists can simply transfer the template line drawings to paper or canvas with the included graphite paper. Then, using the color references and tips in the book, they can add color and create their own still life masterpiece! The book includes 32 pages of instruction and inspiration, providing basic information about color theory, as well as an introduction to several different color mediums - colored pencil, oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, and marker. The overview for each medium covers the essential tools and materials an artist may need, including what types of paper or canvas can be used and any other special materials, as well as how to use various techniques to achieve effects. From colorful florals to fruit and vegetable compositions, art enthusiasts will find everything they need to create their own still life artwork.

Much more difficult than I expected, but a friend and I are doing the cover picture together, turned out to be fun,fun.Actually proud of the final result. Was disappointed that there weren't more similar pictures. Wish all of these books would allow opening and seeing more than one page.

A good sampling of Still Life subjects to trace onto paper or canvas and then finish in any artistic Medium. ie Oil Paint, Acrylic, Water Color etc.The only drawback I found is that I would have liked a couple more examples to choose from.

I shared this book with some young clients and they loved it! It was easy to trace the picture onto canvas as well as paint. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn to paint.

I am not a good drawer so these are perfect for me! I love them the first day I got them. I already started tracing some pictures and now I just have to paint them! I'm so excited!

A bit of a let down. Other than having a basic image to trace, I'm left to my own devices which is not a good thing for a beginner.

I like this book with great templates which are easy to trace and transfer onto drawing paper. Very useful!

The pictures are pretty pleasant to look at, and fairly easy to figure out the colors

great book - love the tracings - really helps with my watercolor techniques
