Description
A must-have reference book for today's artists and art students.
Every artist needs to learn and master the still life. Written by a well-known artist and expert instructor, The Art of Still Life offers a comprehensive, contemporary approach to the subject that instructs artists on the foundation basics and advanced techniques they need for successful drawing and painting.
In addition to Casey's stunning paintings, the work of over fifty past and present masters is included, so that the book will do double duty as a hardworking how-to manual and a visual treasure trove of some of the finest still life art throughout history and being created today.

Praised by artist James Gurney, this book uniquely blends history, theory, and practical instruction. It acts as a laboratory for understanding light and form through controlled still life setups. Casey offers clear explanations, demonstrations, and exercises on subjects such as materials, composition, light and shadow, colour theory, and painting techniques. The practical step-by-step painting guide makes it valuable for artists at all skill levels, whether specialising in still life or not.
