Classic Still Life Painting shows artists how to create paintings of sparkling brilliance and jewel-like color that look like they have been lit from within-just like the exquisite paintings of the Renaissance masters of the 16th and 17th centuries. Artists learn techniques similar to those used by Rembrandt, Raphael, Rubens, and other master painters of the past, including using glazing with colors over a subtle underpainting of tones to achieve the effect of sunlight passing through stained glass. Through the advent of fast drying mediums artists learn that they will be able to achieve the same richness and luminosity found in the works of the old masters. • The only source available that covers how to create mixed-media artworks with an extensive range of mediums • Finished examples provide creative inspiration • A valuable reference that includes technical information and demonstrations

A whopping ninety percent of CHRISTIAN mothers and daughters-in-law surveyed really want a positive relationship with their in-law but most think they never will. So where are they turning for answers? Surprisingly, it's usually NOT the Bible. Going against the tides of trendy advice and pop psychology, authors Eason, Jones, and Mills search the Bible to find the Wonderful Counselor's response to the pesky problems that exist in the mother and daughter-in-law relationship. Using stories rooted in real life, recent research, and revealing scriptures, they dig deep into the core issues that separate mothers-in-law from daughters-in-law. Biblical teaching and application challenge in-laws to honestly examine their motives, thoughts, actions, and reactions so they can move closer to God and to each other. These components make this book perfect for individual or group study for future and current mothers and daughters-in-law of all ages.
