How To Keep the LIFE in Still Life with Karen Werner

Описание: How To Keep the LIFE in Still Life with Karen Werner

Join Art Publisher Eric Rhoads on Art School Live as he gives you free art instruction in Oil painting with artist Karen Werner.

How To Keep the LIFE in Still Life is an Art School Live demo that shows how painting still life from life can energize and strengthen every part of your painting practice. In this session, Karen explains why still life is such a powerful teacher, helping artists develop the core fundamentals that apply to all subjects—composition, values, color, and edges. By working directly from observation, painters learn to see more clearly and make stronger, more confident decisions.

Karen shares practical guidance on lighting, setup, and design considerations, including the single most helpful principle for arranging objects to create clarity and visual interest. She demonstrates how to achieve a convincing sense of light, maintain clean, vibrant color, and avoid muddy passages that can drain energy from a painting. You’ll also see how using larger brushes and making bold, confident marks keeps the process fresh and expressive rather than slow and laborious.

This demo is ideal for artists who want their still lifes—and all their paintings—to feel lively, spontaneous, and full of life.
