A very long movie this time (27 hours), I spent a lot of time and effort on this one. Look over my shoulder, as I work on an elaborate, multi layered still life painting. Contains about 200 detailed, written comments on what I am thinking about when painting, mainly technical issues:
- How to paint using multiple layers of paint, in multiple day sessions
- Which type of surface to paint on and which preparation I use
- Which mediums and paints I use
- Which brushes I use when and why
- Notes about the lighting I use (artificial light)
- Covering several material expressions (glass, cloth, fruit, ceramic bowl etc)
- Wet-into-wet and wet over dry painting
- How to fuse a new layer of paint with an old layer
- Notes on how to create space/depth in a painting
- How to make objects sit IN the painting and not glued on top
- Notes on how to create the illusion of light
- Some tricks to paint ellipses
- How I use rulers to paint perfect straight strokes
- NO SOUND but many written comments in english

Setup
I don't have a picture of the setup in the movie, so I'm adding it here.The painting is placed more or less directly next to the setup, for easy comparing. The painting is illuminated by 6 solux bulbs (not visible here). The setup on the right is illuminated by fluorescent tubes in the ceiling (Philips tld 90 de luxe, 3x 5550k, 1x 3500k.) I use curtains to partly put the setup in the shadow, for creating more depth and drama in the painting...
