April Challenge - Still Life

Hello everyone! Its the 15th! and you know what that means? A new speed paint challenge! This month you voted for a Still Life challenge! We've gone and selected few references for this challenge.  This month you will see a selection of Sample Studies for our beginning speed painters and the actual Challenge Studies.  Only do the Sample Studies if you are new to speed painting or if you just want to do them as a warm up. Beginners, once you do a few Sample studies, we encourage you to move on to some of the Challenge Studies. ( its really not that scary :) )

No you do not need to do all of them ( or you could and amaze us! )  We hope they are interesting enough. ^^

Here's Da Rules

Same rules as always. 2 hour time limit! No tracing! No color picking from the original ref! Figure out your own colors. Make sure you include credit and links where you got your stock photo in the DA description. Not only do most stock provider want to be informed if there pictures are used, but for study reasons referencing to the original source is better for getting crits.

:star: When your done submit it to this folder here:  speedpaintstudies.deviantart.c…

Also say a few words on your study in the description. Helps others when commenting on your work. Its always good to take a moment and reflect on your studies so you can better tackle and improve on those areas in the next study.

Common things to answer are:
►What did you learn from doing this study?
►What did you find difficult?
►What area's do you wish to improve on?

As always, if your participating in these studies,  its highly encouraged to comment on other peoples studies when they get submitted to the group. Sharing advice crits and tips will help each other grow!

That's it! Best of luck this month! We are looking forward to seeing each others studies!
