How to make a still life with vegetables

Here should adhere to the standard rules: follow the form and texture of objects, colors, background, arrangement of elements and composition.

For people who are not familiar with the recommendations above, you want to talk about each point in more detail:

  • Form elements should be varied so that the composition is not blended. The objects need to stand out from each other, so it is advisable to take size and category of items.
  • To still life with vegetables "catches sight," is not to be afraid to play with texture. At the same time use products with glossy and matte surface, smooth and ribbed. It is important not to overdo it.
  • Colors you want to select carefully, objects in the picture must be combined, otherwise, even the unsophisticated viewers of the painting can cause unexplained rejection. It is better to use the spectral circle. It is necessary to draw an equilateral triangle, its angles will show the best combination.
  • A Background for a still life needs a neutral, it should not take the attention of the viewer itself.
  • Best Items to place on one line, and to fill all of space. But to overload the composition is not necessary, it is better to replace the number on the texture. For example, to use as a background drape.
  • Lighting can be set to your taste, but do not rush into extremes. Accents don't have to divert too much attention or to be leading in song.

Drawing: still life

Vegetables can be combined with any other products and objects, not necessarily confined to their use. The more materials involved in the composition, the greater the opportunity to hone their skills.

However, budding artists should choose something simpler, especially for those who prefer the pencil drawing. The only thing simplified the composition of this still life - about the color scheme can not think, most importantly, true to place a light accent, then transfer it to paper.

Pencil drawing

Still life with vegetables in this technique is a fairly difficult task, so you should examine it in detail.

  • Objects on the worksheet come from. To facilitate the process, items should be presented in the form of simple shapes (cylinders, cubes, etc.) and make a sketch.
  • Now drawn elements required to fit the shape of vegetables. Line shapes distort and erase the excess.
  • Small details to emerge in the last turn, when the contours of objects is ready.
  • Add texture, if present.
  • Next, apply a Crosshatch pattern. You should start from light to dark, i.e., the shadows represent last. In addition, the bars must pass terrain, so lines can't just be direct.

In General, to depict still life with vegetables is not as difficult as it seems at first glance - just add a little effort and follow the rules of composition.

Seasonal ideas

Still Lifes are different. If desired their creation to coincide with the time of year. For example, the spring songs are usually composed of flowers: lilies, tulips, snowdrops. However, plants can be arbitrary, unrelated to a specific season. In this case depict bouquets of daffodils, irises and even roses.

In the summer there are also still lifes of flowers, but they are diluted with various small berries and fruits: cherries, plums, apples or pears. And shades for such are more than warm, rendering the atmosphere of the season.

The Next period is also rich in bloom, but artists prefer to make an autumn still life of fruits and vegetables, playing on the associations of harvest. Traditionally, the images there are pumpkins, apples, grapes, currants, corn and, of course, the dry maple leaves. In short, the work can accommodate a variety of agricultural crops, so it's very bright and positive.

Winter still lifes reflect the Christmas mood, so the compositions often comprise of tangerine, spruce branches and cones, candles. As such works window frame is snowy or icy patterns on the glass.

Thus, we can say that the most recognizable subjects are the fall and winter, because to confuse them depicted the seasons is almost impossible.
