About this ebook
Each course and book guide in the 'Paint with Pete' series adds another painting and style to your repertoire.
This book will guide you through the process of painting a beautiful still life painting. Your painting won't look exactly like the one in this book. That doesn't matter! My method of teaching enables you to express your own taste and feelings about what is beautiful. This is not a prescriptive method, but rather a series of processes which enable your self expression.
Go for it! Have fun!

What we will learn in this project
This painting will teach us:
How to use your artistic licence
Using tone to create form
