Items I gathered to create new still life setups
Here is a setup that I think has many wonderful elements. It should work well, composition and color....can't wait to paint this one!
I paint from my own still life compositions. I often gather many wonderful objects I've collected over the years. I'll buy fruit, and or flowers, then spend a few days photographing the still life setups. For convenience, and flexibility, I take pictures of my larger setups. Since I have space restraints in my studio, it works well for me. Sometimes I will have a strong idea of what items I want to bring together, or have a theme I want to work with. Creating a good composition is the hard part. It's one of the biggest challenges I continue to work through as an artist. A few months ago I gathered items for new compositions. I thought I would share some pictures with you. You can see a little bit of my process.
