You recently wrapped setting up a fascinating still-life. You set several apples, a container of blossoms, and a few grapes on a beautiful piece of texture, cautiously making a few folds to a great extent. You’ve organized your still-life before an extremely dull foundation. Since you situated a light source rolling in from one course, there’s a fascinating example of darks and lights. Your range is stacked with tones and your provisions are all current. You’ve picked the perfect size material for your canvas and it’s appropriately ready and put on your easel. Presently, you plunk down to paint- – – and you stall out mentally. You’re confronted with this tremendous, white material gazing back at you. You respond with a clear gaze back at the material.
