This title focuses on visually satisfying compositions in which the main elements are flowers, fruit and vegetable arrangements, and even arrangements of abstract geometric shapes. Both examples of famous paintings and step-by-step examples of works in progress are included among this book�s hundreds of color illustrations. Reproductions of memorable still lifes include works by Chardin, C�zanne, Mir�, and many others. Titles in Barron�s Painter�s Corner art instruction series speak to serious amateur artists, as well as to students enrolled in art classes. Instruction is presented on a level that will suit the needs of intermediate-level students, but many ambitious beginners have also profited from these books. Each title explains the fundamentals of painting and drawing in a given genre or style, and presents sample projects that can guide students toward professional-looking results.
