Painting from Life Practice


After building the easel, I started using my old drawing desk as a still life table. I simply added a back to the table with a piece of plywood and threw a table cloth over it.
After setting up my subject, I turn off the light in the room and use a clamp on light with a 100 watt bulb to add strong shadow drama to the subject. I clamp the light to the back of the easel and move it around till I get just the right shadow I’m looking for.
