For those who've been following the progress of my still lives this past few months, you know I was challenged a few days ago to warp my visions and play with perspectives. The first version of Warped was done on a smaller paper: 17"(43.2cm) x 14"(35.6cm). I originally had no intention of painting it, but … Continue reading Revisiting the Big Still Life Project – Warped Composition – A Drawing
(Home) – Studio Painting – The Big Still-life Project – I’ve been challenged!
We had our final critique with some classmates and teachers and I got challenged to see my "Big Still Life" in a whole different way! I knew I was modifying the relative sizes of the pieces to play with multiple perspectives, but the shadows all grew from there same light source and direction. My teacher … Continue reading (Home) – Studio Painting – The Big Still-life Project – I’ve been challenged!

This doesn't seem like a big jump from the last posting on this, but I've added different colour layers, small hues to the flowers and stocks, as well as some contrasting for the light... There feels to be much more to do, but that means nothing. Sometimes, I sleep on my progress and feel it … Continue reading (Home) – Studio Painting – The Big Still-life Project – Layering In Details

Originally on my right, it kept throwing annoying shadows from my hand as I worked and I couldn't see the canvas surface, so I switched … Continue reading (Home) – Studio Painting – The Big Still-life Project – Adding Some Context
