Nono García is considered one of the renovating masters of the still life theme. In his works, everyday objects take on an essential force, thanks to a conscious and sensitive analysis of the forms and materials they contain. For more than 2 and a half hours and eleven videos, with step-by-step explanations, Nono García will show us how to look at and represent these objects. Representation based on the limited use of tools, materials and colors, but enough to achieve a finished work.

The author will make us understand that the acrylic technique is at the same level as other traditional techniques. The person with an initial level will discover tricks, techniques and learnings that will help them to advance in the simplest way. The advanced person will undoubtedly find advice and teachings that will help him improve and enrich his technique.

In a detailed and concrete way, we can learn:

  • Materials. Paper. Brushes and stirrers. Colors, pigments and marks.
  • Assembling the frame. Gesso primer mixed with acrylics. Final varnish. Other products and tools.
  • Composition and “drawing” of objects.
  • Still life depth through tone and definition.
  • Final reflections, transparencies and backgrounds.

About the artist

Nono García

Nono García

Nono García (Mula, Murcia) 1972. Painter

Nono García is one of the great renovators of the still life genre in Spain. Sincerity emanates from his work, what he feels about the subject, what is appreciated in his works of recent years, where he reaches heights of enormous lyricism.

he studied at the Murcia School of Arts and Crafts. For more than twenty-five years he has dedicated himself exclusively to painting. His work oscillates between two techniques, acrylic and watercolor, always with water as the protagonist.

His good work has led him to practice as a teacher on many occasions. The courses carried out in countries such as Russia, Italy, Lithuania, France, Morocco, as well as various cities of the national geography stand out.

His work is part of important Spanish and European public and private collections, highlighting among other institutions and foundations: Museo della Carta e della Filigrana, Fabriano (Italy); Gabarrón Foundation, New York (USA) or the Montblanc Foundation, Brussels (Belgium).
