Still life SETUP

So often I get students who try to set up still lifes and they don't do so well. They forget a lot of key components. 

1. Make sure you hide the background
2. Use a light to control your lighting
3. Use cloth
4. Stack and Overlap. 

You can get some nice still lives with these simple rules. 

Get Basic Drawing Supplies.

 

I often have students ask me what they need to start drawing. Here are some supplies that don't break the bank.
