A still life is a painting (or drawing) made up of mostly inanimate objects. These things can be natural (such as flowers, vegetables, rocks and shells) or man-made (such as glass, books,
vases and coins). But how does a bunch of things make a painting? And how should these items be arranged? This online workshop will look at the unique characteristics of a still life painting, and how still life paintings differ from other types of artwork. Then, we will use watercolor paints to create our own autumn-themed still life (yes, there will be a pumpkin!).
