Still Life Demonstration by Russell W. Gordon

Time lapse demonstration of a first sitting on a still life with oysters. Total sitting time of 1 hour reduced to 49 seconds under changing natural light conditions in studio. Several additional sittings are required to bring the painting to a high degree of finish. Initial drawing done in charcoal over a green-umber base tone. Support is a medium-toothed stretched linen with lead gound.
