Meet the Masters Series - The French artist Chardin was renowned for his still life paintings. He was ahead of his time in that many of his works could be passed off as an impressionist style. His range was from a highly academic approach to a quick loose brush style. Students can make the image come alive by creating their own color arrangement. I recommend having students only use primary colors first and then adding neutral colors last, blend with a que tip and baby oil if desired. Short bio included. 8.511”
