Isn't it great when you start something that you're sure is going to be a bore, but it turns out to be one of the most enjoyable things you did in weeks? That's what happened to me when I recently discovered my love for still life.To be quite honest, when I started still life as the first topic in my sketching project I was not looking forward to it. I thought it's one of these obligatory basics that everyone has to go through. Almost like a chore, before you can move on to the more interesting topics.
