NOTES
Since the dawn of time, humans have drawn the items that surround them. Ancient Roman paintings of fruits and flowers kicked off a tradition adopted by artists from Caravaggio to Van Gogh. Still life requires us to slow down and pay attention to often-overlooked details - an art in itself. Colors, patterns and textures are everywhere, and noticing the shape of the coffee cup on our desk or the orange of a pumpkin at the market can spark all kinds of ideas. In Still life drawing, grahic designer and illustrator Alice Oehr takes you through fun, surprising and relaxing creative exercises, inspired by the still life tradition and the things we interact with every day
