Camera Still Life in Oils | Loose, Painterly Brushwork

Alla prima oil painting of a Canon AE-1 - back when you had a maximum of 36 shots and no idea if any of them turned out ;) This is a quiet, no-talking painting demonstration - real-time brushwork, edited down with simple cuts, set to calm music. Nothing is sped up or time-lapsed, so you can watch and study each stroke as it lands, or just put it on to relax and unwind. I paint alla prima in a single sitting - starting with a simple sketch, then straight into the paint. I work section by section, dark to light, moving from the main subject to the background. Once that layer is fully dry, I sometimes go back in for a final pass of small details and glazes. Everything within that first sitting is placed and left exactly as it lands (premier coup): loaded brush, thick painterly strokes, no blending, no layering, no going back - chasing accurate light, form, and value while keeping the marks visible. 00:00 Lens 03:45 Camera Body Base 05:31 Camera Body Top 08:25 Shadow/Foreground & Background 09:29 Glazes & Final Details (after painting has dried) Originals & prints → laurenpretorius.com Materials: Some links below are affiliate links - I may earn a small commission at no cost to you.
