Welcome to this weekend’s art challenge! We haven’t had a still life challenge in a long time, so we hope that this subject inspires some of you. Your task is to arrange and draw or paint a simple still life. We are looking for simplicity, nothing too busy or flamboyant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy the process of arranging a composition, allowing the objects and negative space to breathe. Alternatively you could use the reference photos we have added below. Don’t forget – anything can be a still life, even an arrangement of child’s toys.<\/strong> Enjoy and have fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who are new to our challenges, we post them every Friday, so that students have a chance to pick up their pencils, pens, brushes or tablets to create artwork in their downtime over the weekend.

The results are the posted here on our blog on the following Thursday.

We love it when students add text to go along side the artwork, we will always post it on the blog if included. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
