--Davinci took that course for sure, but the guy was kinda lazy so it took him 46 years to actually apply those techniques, it is known all he did was sleep all day

--i always do still lifes only that im horrible at it and i dont feel like im improving

--Another thing about still life: remember the focused studying? When doing still life you can just stop worrying about a lot of things and focus ONLY on get the painting as good as possible. Then you'd learning rendering. Take your time and to do it as accurately as possible :)

--One thing you might learn from a still in real life are that colors never really go pure black or pure white, while in a photo they might

--"Still life's" help because you can't simply color pick and gets you to start seeing/observing what color objects really are.

--Believe me, you learn a LOT more painting from life - it's way harder than from photos. And yeah, the point of still lives it to practice render :) And don't paint apples! paint metals and plastic and aluminum foil and crumpled paper. it's hardcore haha

--right i gots to go, would be intersted to hear what you think though ursula or anyne elses opinons :) night daggers

--ive never done still lifes becauses ive never seen the goal of them. if its to find how to render surfaces then fair enough, but honestly i would just look up some pics. i dont understand painting apples and oranges if u see what i mean. why do you recommend them? honestly interested :)

--Wardy: if that is the problem, it's time to practice rendering :) Master studies and still lives helps a lot.
20 Apr 10:21
--ergh im tired of getting to the rendering stage and just making a steaming pile of poop. so demoralising

--Nous: now that I am teaching, it's surprising how a LOT of people don't know that photos are used. They assume it's all painted and don't understand how can it be so real/quick... so yeah, that article is very good on illuminating people.
