Still life painting

Any composition of still life painting, if unified and unchanged, is dull. On the other hand, any composition, with more changes and less unity, will appear chaotic. Several common composition methods of still life painting are as follows:

Triangular composition

Most commonly used for sketching still life. Triangular composition is the most common and stable composition form. Still life is divided into three groups and placed on three vertices. This kind of composition has stable picture, prominent subject, clear hierarchy and patchwork, which is suitable for the combination with less still life.

Symmetric method

In daily life, symmetrical forms can be seen everywhere. The human body structure is symmetrical, and the leaves of many plants grow symmetrically.

balancing method

Using the lever principle, it presents a state of balance, and also uses the direction of force to achieve a balance in people's hearts.

Harmonic method

The purpose of harmony method is to realize the harmony of the picture. Harmony can be regarded as a kind of cohesion of the picture. We generally use color, texture and spatial brightness to achieve the purpose of harmony. Harmony always coexists with contrast in a picture. This is the dialectical relationship of unity of opposites.

correlation method

Contrast method is a common rule in still life sketch, which generally includes the comparison of body size, modeling Fiona Fang, line straightness, object quality, cold and warm colors, block size, light and shade, and space. There is contrast in the picture, and the impression is high.

ratio method

In still life composition, the proportion factors between objects should be orderly and the size of the body should be arranged. Long, tall and big bodies are in the back. Short, low and small objects are arranged in front, and the dark shape and bright shape are different in size and similar in shape.

repeat

Multiple occurrences of the same image are repetitive. Repetition makes people feel the vitality of life, and repetition can deepen the impression.

Change and unity

The unified law of change is the central law among the above laws, which has a commanding effect on other laws. Any composition of still life painting, if unified and unchanged, is dull. On the other hand, any composition, with more changes and less unity, will appear chaotic.
