Still Life subjects give me the space to do what I do best; realism. I typically choose complex subjects composed of multiple but similar smaller objects. Then, instead of using a classic approach of painting light to dark across the entire canvas, I treat each object as its own canvas and paint them individually. While this approach takes much more time, the result is no two objects are the same, which I feel adds to the realism. Follow me on Instagram @cjwatercolor.
