In Dynamic Still Life for Artists, noted artist and instructor Sarah Sedwick presents detailed, step-by-step instruction and insights on the many creative possibilities that drawing and painting still lifes can offer.

  • Develop observational skills by setting up and assessing various arrangements, groupings, and formats.
  • Evaluate an arrangement’s abstract shapes by creating black-and-white value studies.
  • Learn the process of alla prima painting, from underpainting to color mixing to applying color.

Featuring inspiring examples by other distinguished artists working in a variety of mediums, Dynamic Still Life for Artists will encourage all artists, from aspiring to accomplished, to explore this timeless genre through new arrangements, styles, and visual studies, empowering them to develop and expand their creative and technical skills.

The For Artists series expertly guides and instructs artists at all skill levels who want to develop their classical drawing and painting skills and create realistic and representational art.

Sarah Sedwick began painting in oils at age ten. In 2001, she earned a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art with a focus on illustration and painting and a minor degree in art history. Her work focuses mainly on still life and portraiture, painting from direct observation. Teaching is an integral part of her creative work. She teaches still life and portrait painting workshops around the United States and internationally, as well as through an online art mentorship program. Sarah is represented by Tvedten Fine Art in Harbor Springs, Michigan. She makes her home in Eugene, Oregon.
