In still life painting, places of objects usually (but not always) look very natural, but most of them are carefully laid out by the painter. Like Cezanne, he will take a few days to consider arrangements for his still lives, and take a longer time to express them, but his still life paintings look very natural. One trick of looking for still life is to "find".
Distribution patterns of these objects are usually more interesting than your deliberate arrangement. A number of them may be falling, and some are blocked up and can only be seen one part, but their size and color combinations are stochastic collocation. And you need to choose the most appropriate one from the point of view of these objects into the painting. Find a piece of cardboard and cut it into a square "window", which can be used to help you find a composition. You can even use your fingers to gesticulate into a natural viewing window. You may also need to move or to change one or two objects, because their original positions are somewhat obscure. If things were too messy, you can also take some away.
Drawing these random still-life portfolios can exercise your drawing skills. Because objects you usually find will not maintain this state for a long time, so it forces you to paint quickly and decisively. Or even to a certain extent on the painting, even if you left the objects, you could continue to paint and use the fastest direct painting techniques, which can make you more likely to exhibit this instant state of objects. These works are usually coming from the painter's accidental inspiration—in a messy environment, suddenly finding a potential painting composition. But generally it is necessary to make minor adjustments to the object position, or to remove some unwanted objects, while in the other aspect this group of still life painting conditions is met. In the description of the accidental discovery of still life, some free or slightly casual brush strokes can be used to emphasize the accidental traits of still life. In this painting, the open drawer, tilt book and shoes on the floor show a random state of these items after being cleaned up.
