I setup this still life in my studio and didn't finish it up until a few months ago. I don't setup and paint a lot of still life paintings but I enjoy them when I do. I love painting fruit! I don't know what it is about fruit...maybe because of the uneven shapes and variance in the color and textures. I chose this little bowl because it has some warm earthy colors in it and I have placed it in some of my other paintings in the past. The bird statue also throws a little twist in there that I like.
I took a workshop at the
Lafayette Art Association from
Qiang Huang about a year ago and setup my still life using some of the techniques I learned in that workshop. If you have a opportunity to take from him, don't miss the chance. He is an excellent teacher and explains in detail about composition, lighting and color mixing.
