Still life painting is familiar to any art student
It can be a few simple apple and banana porcelain jars
It can also be a more complex plush toy glassware
Learning still life is also to lay a good painting foundation for future diversified creation
The so-called building a house needs to lay a good foundation
This is where learning still life is so important


And still life painting is for the pursuit of art
It is a form of creation that can be learned to get old
I often hear people say that a painting is never finished
So someone in the studio can always "Grinding foreign workers"
But there are also differences in the cognition of still life creation


Still life can be easily understood
But it can also be performed amazingly
More than just drawing its painting relationship
It can also draw the original vitality of still life itself
