Synopsis

Designed as a clear starting point for newcomers, this guide shows how to create nine compact still life paintings that fit on canvases measuring no more than 10cm (4in) square. Estelle Day sets out the paints and supplies you will need, then demonstrates essential techniques for working in oils, building skills through small-scale studies.

Outlines are included to trace, helping you begin straight away, particularly if drawing confidence is still developing. The book also highlights the qualities of oil paint, including its slow-drying nature for adjustments and its potential for translucent or opaque blends and vivid colour. Suitable for beginners looking for structured, small-format projects.
