Still-life works don’t just sit around in groups.
There’s a lot of movement when trying out a still-life set up for painting. Lots of things come out of cupboards, off shelves, get dusted, borrowed, then given back and put away again. You soon realise that up to fifty pieces have emerged and that you really only need 2 or three. These photos are all rejects or research for now. I have painted bits and pieces of the things above but not these set ups.
I actually like all of these…I love especially the doll and her toys. Do you always photo them before painting?
Thanks and yes i do take pictures of the set ups and then play with cropping and or colour to see what i like best.
