Beautiful Study
At a past fall workshop, students brought in a fruit or vegetable to set up this still life and we practiced drawing and painting from life. The pre-dominantly warm colors of the squash sparkled against the magenta mums that created cascading shadows in these Fall Still life study. This painting is beautiful and vibrant.
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 and the shadows from the Magenta colored Mum are fascinating.
