Four complete oil painting workshops in one full-color paperback. Follow Jan Matěják's practical studio process through finished still lifes, from the first drawing and tonal foundation to color, reflections, edges, and final highlights. These four workshops were previously available as separate digital books and are collected here in print for the first time.

Inside the book

• Grapes and Pomegranate: a seven-layer still life, from underpainting and grisaille to luminous color.
• The Yellow Rose: a more direct method for painting light, petal form, and color temperature.
• Porcelain and Peaches: a classical approach to drawing, underpainting, grisaille, and color.
• Glass, Silver, and a White Rose: the Flemish shortcut, moving into color over umber without a separate grisaille.

Progress photographs, palette notes, and process checks make the demonstrations useful beside the easel. Compare four approaches and apply the decisions to your own paintings.
