In week 12, instructor Joe Altwer will teach you how to create a sense of perspective and space within your painting. He will continue on his still life of reflective objects against a light background. You will watch as he unifies values and simplifies the abstract shapes of the mixing bowl to push it behind. Then, he will refine the eggshells and turn the lemons’ forms to make them stand out toward the front.

Throughout this course, you’ll have access to the NMA community for feedback and critiques to improve your work as you progress.
