Still Life Art

22nd Sep 2023

We had the opportunity to view still life compositions by some famous artists. The artist introduced us to the colour wheel and pointed out the complementary colours - opposites on the colour wheel.  She explained that complementary colours were selected by those marketing products as they caught the eye of the shopper.  

It wasn’t long before we had a go ourselves, creating a still life of a vase and orange. We talked about shape, line and colour as we worked with pencil, watercolours and oil pastels.
