What is Still Life?
Still life is simply a painting or drawing of objects. It is different from other forms of work in the sense that it cannot move (unlike a figure or a portrait) and is close to you (unlike a landscape).
When you paint or draw a still life, you will see things your own way. One person might be fascinated by detail, another might notice the shapes more and another person might be more interested in the colours.
Some artists famous for their still life work include, Vincent Van Gogh, Georgia O’Keefe, Henri Matisse and Paul Cezanne.
