In this lesson, "Violin and Books the Still Life", Ginger shows you how to paint this beautiful still life of a violin and some books. This is a longer lesson and you will see several design decisions being made and changed. (This is page 2 of 2 for the complete 15-episode tutorial, 6-1/2 hours) Page 1 here.
As always with this type of lesson, you are encouraged to watch the videos before picking up paints and brushes. You can always speed up the playback, but when Ginger is designing as she goes, there will be changes along the way.
The "Violin and Books the Still Life" is painted on an 18"x24" stretched canvas using Ginger's standard palette of colors.

Oh, my!! Episode 16. So, I painted bigg, 50/ 70 cm. That is, 20/ 27” . Oh, myyy, must take a deep breath. That was stunning! But I didn’t changed so much. I will post it! Thankkkksss a lot! First I must look at it!
I appreciate you even more knowing what goes into composing a great painting. I am so grateful that you were the one to change, change, change what didn’t appeal….I would have given up long before the end or would have been satisfied with a much lesser vwersion.
I am currently working on this, having everything blocked in and I am determined to do it till I’m satisfied and you, Ginger are too.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work, the both of you…..I won’t ever forget that “you can’t make eggs without eggs”!
I need to do this. It is so beautiful and appeals to my sock folder soul
That was labor intensive!! Lots of wonderful info as always. Thank You
