How To Paint A Still Life For Beginners

If you ever take an oil painting class one of the first things they will have you do is an alla prima still life study like the one I do in this video. In the video I explain the key points to getting the most out of the exercise and how to build an alla prima sketch from thin paint to thick paint.

Hi, I am the son of two artists and began painting in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia before I could walk. I was a rare combination of artist and athlete so I moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to play football for USC. I left the team my sophomore year to focus on painting and filmmaking, applying the same focus and discipline from my football career to my art. I primarily work in oils, and spend most free days painting "en plein air" around Los Angeles.
