Still life painting can be far more exciting and varied a means of expression than the dull classroom exercises with which many people associate it. Bernard Dunstan deals with the selection and design of both the consciously arranged still life and the accidental groups which 'just happen' everywhere around us. Colour, drawing and tone are discussed, with many illustrations, which include step-by-step stages of paintings, and still lifes by a wide variety of artists. The book also suggests a number of projects based on still life which are specially designed to tackle, in a simple and straightforward way, many of the problems of painting. The emphasis of the book is throughout on the direct observation of nature.
