Still life poorly organized composition |
Over the years I have had different studio's depending on my situation.
My studio is an interesting destination. I can study and experiment away from the curious bystander that I meet in plein air painting.
I find doing still life in my studio the best way to learn color composition and form.
I first started painting my still life with a knife. Something was bothering me about it. The color was okay but the composition was alarming and uninteresting.
After two days of working on the still I was thinking of abandoning my painting out of frustration."what was it, my set up? the content?" . By stepping back from the set up I could see everything was veering to the left leaving empty space.
I made a small sketch and then started a new painting of the same set up. This time I used the brush to block in. Although the still life isn't finished it has a better arraignment and therefore more interesting to paint.
