 Still Life Paintings
|
|
It's nice to paint things that "Don't Move"... One of the most important things an artist can learn is to "Truly See," and painting a still life subject allows you to do just that. It takes a unique type of practice to learn to observe the many subtleties we see every day right in front of us; but an artist must, if he (or she) is to become accomplished. It is truly the difference between a professional artist and one who is not.

"T-Pot"
Sometimes certain things just catch your eye when you're an artist. This still life, T-Pot, that was set up at a painting class in my senior year at college, did just that! I spent many extra hours working on how to capture the reflections and highlights of the silver teapot, until I felt I had painted it the best I could. It was a great exercise in discipline to stay with it and not give up; a must for any artist that wants to become a professional.
