This still life is about baking an apple pie. All the products on the table are needed to bake this cake. I put the whole composition in such a way that it gives the impression that the person who makes this cake has forgotten something and had to leave the table (an egg escaping from a pile of flour). Through the appropriate saturation of colors and the softness of daylight falling through the window, I wanted to reach the viewer's senses. I would like you to feel the smell of apples, cinnamon, butter and vanilla when looking at this photo....

My oranges are supposed to enjoy the memory of sweetness and a slight hint of acidity, the scent of essential oils that come out when we press the peel. Orange - sweet, juicy, with intense color. In religious painting, it appears in the scenes of original sin, where it is a "substitute" for the apple tree, and in the representations of the heavenly garden. The white orange flowers symbolized virgin purity, which is why in the Middle Ages they were attributed to Mary. The fruits complement the tree itself, and its seeds were seen as the seeds of a new plant...

Inspired by my fish images, and because I hate wasting food. I have smoked and prepared the fishes for consuming. I decided to close the circle on the fish story. and show all stages of it. Still Life with fish and lemon, 2021 Still Life with Smoked Fish, 2021 The freshly smoked fish is beautiful and delicious. Smoking in birch smoke almost magically turns their structure from cold, wet silver into hot gold. Looking at the photo of these fish taken out of the smokehouse, we should smell the appetizing hot meat sprinkled with lemon, and the fingers should feel the collagen...

Today's photos are inspired by the works of the Spanish painter of still lifes from the 18th century Luis Melendez (1716-1780) His mastery of composition and light, and remarkable ability to convey the volume and texture of individual objects enabled him to transform the most mundane of kitchen fare into powerful images, and Jean Baptiste Siméon Chardin (2 November 1699 - 6 December 1779) was an 18th-century French painter.

I start my tests with the reconstruction and analisis of composition of Willem Heda still life painting. I am using my office wall and window for this test - using only one natural light source. I am still not 100% happy with the result. I like the light and how it hits the subjects, but I feel like I still need to work on the composition I tried few different views and perspectives to be as close to the original painting as possible. I finally settled for the 3rd perspective and coposition as I feel it is closest to the...

Dutch artists usually had a specific specialization. Sometimes they limited the scope of the topics they undertook to a very narrow field. Those who specialized in still lifes often narrowed the field of their artistic search even more - they painted flower still lifes or excelled in still lifes, the so-called breakfast (banketje). The term banketje is defined as compositions whose theme is food. These are representations of tables set, broken and left food and dishes. Willem Claesz Heda was the master of this type of paintings. The still life with the golden cup, painted in 1635 and kept in...

The rules of composition in landscape painting and any other, are only a guide on how to paint to make the picture interesting. We don't always know why we like a given image and it has this "something". Most often, however, success comes from applying the rules of composition that are worth knowing. Therefore, I present these principles once again in the points: The main point of the picture Each scene should have a star that focuses the viewers' eyes. The rest are supporting and background elements. The most important element is emphasized by:the strongest color and complementary colorthe greatest color contrastpeople,...
