howdy!
Need a book of master still-lifes, or several books. Am more familiar
with sculpture than with drawing - which artists drew lots of
still-lifes?
thanks

did a search already. Searches are fine if the question is specific.
When the question is general humans usually give better answers.

seems still lifes don't get reproduced much in books. Leafed through
about 50 drawing books in local libraries and found zilch. Too bad,
cause I needed it for class tonight. Can ask a PAFA drawing faculty
tomorrow, I guess.

One of my eternal goals have been
to sculpt
- a landscape (done)
- still life

Nice to meet you here, too.

Hey Lauri,
sculpting a still life should be easy with found objects :-D
I used to read posts here but there's so much animosity that I stayed
away. Who needs hatred when the world is full of cheese?
What I've been told is that there aren't books on still-life master
drawings and that if I want my students to draw from them they should
draw from painting instead. Bleh. That misses the whole point.
