Still Life Drawing

Do you know about still life drawing? No....... Than you are on right place. Here you will learn about drawings techniques.

A still life is a drawing or painting that focuses on still objects. The subject matter is inanimate and never moves, typically with a focus on household objects, flowers, or fruits.

• Still life work contrasts figure drawing which focuses on a live human model. With a still life you know the objects won’t ever move and you can practice objects with different properties like shiny metal, clear porcelain, or bulbous apples.

• Fruit bowls are a popular choice because they’re made up of simple shapes and everyone has fruit lying around.

• Creating a still life is a starting point for someone to practice fundamental skills. When drawing inanimate objects you can be sure they will stay in the same position until you move them, making it an easier task for beginners.

  Still life artwork comes in many different styles and mediums. The brush strokes can be loose and wild or precise and bold. As long as the subject matter remains inanimate, even pen and pencil can create a still life piece.
