Still Life
The Framework Revealed
Steve, my faithful, underpaid, Art by Wendy
employee, has just completed this wonderful still life stage for setting up a
still life. (The whole thing is made from ¾ inch PVC pipes and two pieces of plywood.) I found the
information and plans for it on Carol Marine’s blog, http://carolmarine.blogspot.ca. You can buy a ready-made one or watch her
free tutorial on how to make your own.
Her husband designed hers and once I saw it I knew my husband would want
to take up the challenge. Of course he
made a few changes, as all builders do, but the main principle of Carol’s is
with mine. It is wonderful to have ‘good’
lighting to practice still life drawing with my students and it great for
setting up a still life to paint with. It
is not bad for taking a picture of a still life, as well, as you can see from
my pictures. One of the main changes
Steve made was to glue the top pieces together and the bottom so it would be
easier to move around but the side pieces slip out easily so it will fold up
flat like her’s. Good luck with your
Life Stage.
Enjoy the last days of summer and as always
matted prints of all my pictures are available for as little as $7.00.

I think I might see something different in the near future in paintings?
Yes Brenda I am sure you will. This life stage has given me lots of ideas for practicing still life drawing.
