We have done this before and several of you took on the challenge. At the Colley Whisson's workshop he re-threw the guantlet! I double dog dare myself and all of you to meet Colley's challenge of painting quick still lifes.
What kind of still life? Anything simple. No more than one to three objects. Don't focus on the finish.
Colley's take: Use large brushes. Don't spend more than a half an hour or so. Focus on the light and dark masses (light and shadow).
My take: Concentrate on juicy, accurate color spots. One for each plane - front, side, top, turning, up-plane, reflected light. Anything that makes one spot on the object different from another. Make the stroke ... and let it be.
Relax, this is practice! They can be small, 5 x 7" or so.
