Check out Henk Helmental, if you don’t already know his work. He is a Dutch still life painter, presently. The two best in history were Willem Kalf, Dutch 17c. and Emil Carlson, American 19c. The most important aspect of Still life is that it has to read. The objects have to correlate in a natural setting. Years back, artists would put something in just because they needed something there.. I. e. A plate standing up behind, a teacup, a wineglass a material backdrop. The Dutch were masters at this. They would also stick to rules such as.. one metal, one clay, open bottle, closed vessel, material such as a napkin, organic.. food, one light source… indicating their culture or their wealth or lack thereof. There was an actual competition at painting the best peeled lemon. The lemon was the symbol of sobriety.

I love this video, I’d love to know how to paint realism like Sargent with bolder brushstrokes, how do you get all the different shades of highlight in with just one brush stroke ? Because I feel like painting multiple smaller brushstrokes will take away from the style I’m talking about. Please answer this in your next q&a or here if you have the time ! Love everything you do

Great explanation - I tend to be lazy and just mix the color I see not bothering with all the minute variation- it is these subtle variations that make the painting realistic- thank you Mark, always so efficient in your teaching that get the point across.

In the case of the book on the table; I always thought of it as being a situation where light has difficulty making it into such areas, therefore these areas are naturally darker than the rest of the book. I've never had an art lesson and never used a color checker but this behavior of light just always seemed so natural to me. Thanks for this. Ken in the Philippines.

I guess in say watercolor where you work from light to dark that would actually be the preferred (or only) method. In something like acrylics where layers don't mix and are opaque you could do whatever you like. But Mark is talking about oils where he goes from dark to light, you don't (unnecessarily) want to make your darker parts to light, it's much easier to go from dark to light in oils.

I had an experience with this very example doing a copy portrait paint study on Salvador Mundi. I should have never picked that to paint, its not defined and trying to copy a da vinci, lol, Total disaster, but I learned a lot from this experience though, and this vid was it, hightlights are not just one value, edges are not so exact, and on and on.

I sometimes find issue with light reflections too. It’s an issue with focal point verses an object’s texture. Like the elephant in this still-lift display, the reflection necessary to show its shape and texture could actually steal the show from the subject. Very soft highlights work in this case, yet as Draw Mix Paint states here: you mustn’t use the highest contrast in anything but the subject.

My eyesight isnt that great to catch all the tiny details that you talked about. So what I've done to solve that problem is : I take a picture with my tablet and then really zoom in on those details. Also eliminates any optical illusion where one color might appear darker than what it actually is. It really works for me. My artwork has improved with this method and your great videos.
