Week 4 - Fruit & Vegetables
General Overview Instructions
What you Need:
Fruit
Select various fruits and vegetables from your fruit bowl and fridge. Choose various shapes, sizes and colours to make your arrangement interesting and dynamic.
You may choose to include a bread board, table cloth or fruit basket as well in your arrangement, however they are not essential.
Set Up:
-
Place still life objects at least 1/2 metre away from you.
-
Sit on bench stool with your easel angled towards the still life.
-
If you are using a board without an easel, it is best to put an object (eg. fruit) behind your board and angle it on a 45-65 degree angle.
