•Use 18 x 24” white bond paper and tempera paint: r, y, blu, bla, wh only
•Start with an underpainting in water-thinned tempera working out shapes,colors, placement of shapes from observation. Do not pencil start withpencil.
•Develop the painting by mixing colors on both palette and ground andapplying background to foreground, large to small shapes, thin to thick paintconsistency, large to small brushes, details and linework last.
•More mixed colors are better than unmixed colors; keep colors clean notmuddy (accidental blends of 3)
•Look every few seconds at the still life set up in order to adjustcomposition for value, proportion, placement and details. Pay as muchattention to background as foreground or zero in on the set up.
•Remember: changes in a painting demand more changes, depending on whatyour eyes see at this stage.
