Still Life
A representation (normally a painting or
drawing) of inanimate objects.
Subject matter is removed from its natural
setting and arranged by the artist
Used as a means of exploring the form for its
own sake
(aesthetically and/or metaphorically)
How it looks What it means
Think of the
color wheel
when you’re
choosing your
colors
Avoid centering
Rule of thirds
Crop to activate
the edges
Begin with loose, painterly brush strokes
THEN refine with more detail if you want
Avoid outlining
