My approach to my still life project

Today I’m going to experiment and treat my art the same way in which I treat my cooking and baking which I also love to do !

To see what happens. I want to create more art everyday and Work harder. I cook everyday so I thought it might be fun to use the same philosophy !

Firstly Ive chosen what I’m going to do!

I’ve cleaned up and organised my workspace

I’ve set up my still life

I came up with my idea last night of the plant pot and two apples whilst I lay in bed last night

I love my bookcase in my studio! I’ve placed the plant in front of my bookcase which in Lockdown we all seam to have behind us ! My two apples are representing my two healthy children but their fragility I am aware of and the passing of time as they ripen and decay !

I have chosen two images from artists to keep me focused. These represent a still life of flowers by Hockney and a landscape in yellow by Sutherland. Looking at these will keep me from swaying away in another direction.

I’ve then decided what I’m going to use.

Charcoal, ink, and gouache
