still life painting

I hadn't done a still life painting for a while, so I thought I'd take a break from landscapes and try a small still life.

Took an apple and a piece of cloth. Found a small primed board. Set up easel and palette and painted. And filmed it.

Painting still life is like the easy, laid back version of painting landscape. The light stays the same, nothing moves, and you're never bothered by livestock. Plus it's probably not raining and you can make tea whenever you want. And paint sitting down.

You people have got it easy.
