Herron Class 8: Still Life

The lesson today was abstract still life, but I did a realistic one.

The basic idea of today's lesson was to do a loose still life drawing with overlapping sections, then color in various sections leaving white space in between. The subject(s) were to be painted in warm colors (e.g. red, orange, yellow or brown) and the background was to be painted in cool colors (e.g. green, blue or purple).

However, I did this still life instead. Here's what I did that was similar to the lesson: 1) sketched the drawing in loosely (I used paint instead of pencil for my outlines); and 2) did a still life with overlapping shapes. I don't do still life subjects often, so this was a nice change.
