'Painting Topical Tip' by Paul Taggart - Scaling Made Easy for a Still-Life

This Topical Tip came out of the set of Lessons in the series 'Learn To Enjoy Painting' which features a still-life painting produced in Artists' Quality Soft Pastels -- from Lesson 21 onwards.

However, the principal of the tip is not confined to this medium -- it is applicable to any painting or drawing composition.

Although the painting on which Paul Taggart is working in that set of Lessons is much bigger than the actual still-life that he is capturing -- it is of such a scale simply to enable viewers to see the painting properly as it progresses. A still-life is however best kept within the actual size of the subject that is being painted.

This guide will help demystify what can seem to be a complex process -- that of accurately scaling the composition to reflect the scale of the still-life itself.

'Painting Topical TIps' by Paul Taggart is a dedicated series that not only stands alone, but will also help you with the various Painting Tutorial Projects, Learn To Enjoy Painting episodes and so on.

Each episode concentrates on a particular aspect within a technique - in which the Artist and Author Paul Taggart carries out a detailed demonstration, whilst also providing a running commentary.
