All about Still Life Drawing
A still life is an artwork of everyday objects such as fruit, flowers or bottles. Artists use still lifes to practise light, shadow and shape.
The objects stay still, which makes them a good subject for beginners.
When drawing a still life, look carefully at where the light falls and where the shadows are. Drawing the shapes first helps you get the proportions right.
