He\u00a0is currently studying the Drawing and Painting Online Art Diploma Course and the Oil Painting Online Art Course with us.\u00a0Mokhtar quite often posts his artwork and questions on our student forum. If students haven&#8217;t found our forum yet, its a fabulous place \u00a0to chat about artwork, gain hints and tips and discuss the assignments and any questions students\u00a0may have\u00a0about their course. It has excellent resources too and you can and visit and bookmark it\u00a0here &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/forum.london-artcollege.co.uk\/\">The Common Room &gt;&gt;\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mokhtar posted one of his recent paintings which we absolutely love and so we asked\u00a0Mokhtar if he would write about it for our college news blog. We were thrilled to receive the text below and hope that our students enjoy reading about Mokhtar&#8217;s painting and would like to officially thank him here for working with us on this post. We hope\u00a0it also gives students\u00a0inspiration to set up their own\u00a0still life and have a go themselves. If you do&#8230;let us know!<\/p>\n<h2>Still Life Oil Painting<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;This work is the first true try for me of a still life subject. I did carry it out using the wet-on-wet technique for oil paint on A4 size ready primed canvas.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The subject matter is based on a photograph (not by me). I have started the drawing of the subject using a color pencil on a stained canvas. For staining the canvas I have used burnt umber and white (1:3 ratio approximately) thinned using normal turpentine. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In preparing colors, I did consider the three primary colors only (yellow, blue, and red) in addition to white and burnt umber.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>I have prepared colors in advance in three groups, a group for each figure, with all possible shades of the three peppers appearing in the subject.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I completed the whole work in around 5 hours including the background. During painting, I was keen not to blend different shades as much as possible, in order to avoid mudding colors to reflect a bright painting.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>For still life subjects, I believe that excessive blending does not help to reflect realistic paintings.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Mokhtar Ibrahim<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/MokhtarIbrahim44342.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5168\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/MokhtarIbrahim44342.jpg\" alt=\"still life oil painting\" width=\"645\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/MokhtarIbrahim44342.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/MokhtarIbrahim44342-300x216.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 645px) 100vw, 645px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mokhtar Ibrahim painted this beautiful\u00a0still life oil painting below.
