Still Life: One type of object and perhaps one single contrasting "prop" if you wish
A Simple Still Life win Natural Light! Let's start with something really simple. No bowls of varied fruits or vegetables for now! We want just to play with composition and light!
Subsequently we can get more ambitious. A actually, this is much harder, as bowls of fruit are in themselves hardly ever not attractive, LOL!
Substitute hammers, jars, pebbles, fish from the market or the water, books, boxes or any other non-breathing object you fancy1
At your choice, add up to one single different item - cloth, fruit, dead day or whatever!
The key here is stark simplicity and natural lighting.
Examples: (credit will be given once I identify the respective artists)
Hall Groat: Bartlett Pear with Red Cherry
Pat Markle:Three Pears with Leaf
Have fun!
