STILL LIFE

Flowers make lovely

living subjects for pastel

paintings. Still lifes give you

complete control over your

subject, as you choose

the lighting, background,

objects, and textures.

Sketch the outline loosely

with a pastel pencil,

making sure the pot is

balanced and the flowers

do not look too heavy. Use

simple oval shapes for the

flower heads and leaves.
