Wrap It Up

Wrapped Still Life with Gucci Bag

Often as artists we get caught up in trying to make things look realistic, but then fail to observe our subjects close enough.   When you wrap an object you lose the visible detail but maintain the volume and form.  Consider doing a drawing that incorporates paper into a still life composition in a way that puts the emphasis on form and value rather than the detail within actual, recognizable objects.
