Still Life and Studies

Objects and Arrangements

From Helen South, About.com

Artists create still life drawings both as studies or exercises and as finished, complete artworks. The still life subject allows the artist to control their composition by arranging objects and lighting. They can choose meaningful objects and arrangements for their still life composition, and maximize the use of light and shade for interesting and expressive drawing.
