This week Shirley set up another still life.  We just use a piece of foam core and score it in a couple of places to fold it.  Don't cut it all the way through.  This works perfectly as a still life back ground or if you want to add some interest, drape a piece of fabric along the back wall.  I'm sure there are better set ups to block out some of the light and control it better, but this works good for something portable and light weight.

Here is Shirley's painting of the still life.  Sorry its blurry.  Shirley I cut you out of this picture intentionally because I didn't want you to hate me forever.  Can't quite describe the look that was on your face???

This is Vickie's masterpiece.  Here she has sketched it out on watercolor paper and then masked off the areas to keep them white.

I just love this picture.  It is going to be wonderful!  It better be in our Fall Show.  I expect to see it there!

Vickie is practicing on the leaves before she puts them in.

Vickie, if you happen to finish it at home make sure you bring it so I can photograph it and post it.

O.k. Next blog I promise to have some photos of one of our studios.  Who will it be???
