Beautiful Studies
At a past fall workshop, students brought in a fruit or vegetable to set up this still life and we practiced drawing and painting. The pre-dominantly warm colors of the squash sparkled against the magenta mums that created cascading shadows in these Fall Still Life studies. They were a joy to paint. Lovely as a pair, these studies with their color and unique freshness would brighten any room.
A study is a great opportunity to loosen up and see something new without any preconceived ideas. For example, see the royal blue wash infiltrated with orange between the yellow squash. Look how the Indian Red color mixes with the pinks and the underside of the Buttercup squash.
