How to Set Up A Still Life

That's the title of the article I have to write for work.
I've been emailing various still-life artists, asking their advice for beginners. It's been a real snooze-fest....until now.

Here's a bit of advice one artist sent me this morning:

Very important: Put things together,which works well together,which create harmonies.Its not harmonious,when you paint a beautuful flower bouquet,and on the bottom near the vase you place a half full ashtray or a open package with condoms.


How true that is.

Um, who ever said that an open package of condoms isn't ART? I mean, I see the harmony there.

Romantic individual brings a beautiful flower bouquet to object of affection. Object of affection loves it, and totally wants to get naked. Then they get harmonious. But safely! They don't want no babies.
