In late September or early October the watercolour group will have a Still Life set up event. I asked Betty if she would be willing to help me with this event, and she said "yes"...
I have been looking at websites and in magazines to get some ideas of Still Life set ups.
So if you want to try creating your own Still Life, then over the summer you can pick up or get together items that you like to include (flowers can be bought close to the day we will be doing it...TBA). I plan to look for a crystal vase and a silver item or two while I am out this summer. Think about background ideas as well. Fabric or lacy items work well.
We will have a bright lamp to shine on our set ups to give us sharp clear shadows. We will take digital photos, downloaded the images on to a computer and then we will use a digital projector to enlarge the image to the wanted size. Tracing the image on to poster paper will allow everyone to go home with an image quickly.
See you in June!
