Doing still life is the perfect vessel to focus on specific fundamental it get out of the way the need to be pretty or the need of creativity to a certain degree.It still were job as artist to ''beautify'' i would say unless your an hyper realistic artist which doesn't seem to apply to you personally.


But i think still life might need to be done a little bit more deliberally than let say just observe the room and draw anything.I think it important that atleast the element you want to draw are organize and that you choose the lighting condition.Why it important to organize the element? 

First to learn about composition.Secondo it create a relation in light and shadow between the object which will affect the rendering and the visual important of each object.

Still life are the perfect excuse to study they are boring at time in term of subject matter but rich for those who understand the power to boost were learning and they give us the opportunity to develop a more deliberate way of working.They are amazing for experimenting new medium and new technique.
