John Peace is working towards gaining his certificate in Still Life Painting and Drawing<\/a> with us at the London Art College. He is being tutored by artist and mentor\u00a0Alan Dedman who enjoys creating still life paintings and imparting his knowledge to his students.<\/p>\n

Alan encourages his students to use all mediums on this course and also to draw from life. \u00a0Setting up a still life to work from is an exciting challenge. Collecting interesting objects that work together\u00a0and make a statement can be tricky and might take some practice.\u00a0John however, is taking it all in his stride. He is\u00a0creating some wonderful paintings from each set up he does, as you can see below.\u00a0The objects John has chosen to paint are very thought provoking\u00a0shapes which brings interest into his\u00a0paintings.<\/p>\n

Adding different light sources\u00a0can also create all different moods for your artwork. If you are looking to draw your mug for instance, you can place your mug in full sunlight or half shade to create some lovely sunlight and shaded areas. Also try using an angle poise lamp to cast shadows on the ground. Alternatively set the still life up in a darkened room using a night light candle in a jam jar as\u00a0the only light source. This adds lots of interest into the scene. Try this out using varying objects and look at them from different eye levels and angles too.\u00a0Disclaimer – please be responsible when using candles!<\/p>\n

We hope you have fun creating your own\u00a0Still Life Painting and Drawing.\u00a0Why not email them to us so we can display them here on our blog!<\/p>\n
