Still Life Painting with Indirect Method
With voice-over narration Sadie shares detailed commentary for every stage of her process: She starts with a detailed preparatory line drawing and transfers it to a traditional-chalk gesso primed wood panel. Working with monochromatic layers she paints a detailed “grisaille” underpainting in grayscale. She then paints several layers of full color over the grisaille, developing more and more refined detail with each pass to bring the painting to a high level of finish.
Working completely from life, in natural light, Sadie shows how a meticulous, traditional technique can be used by contemporary artists to create stunning realistic paintings.
