With our art projects we often take inspiration from famous artists. These paintings are based on the work of William Scott, who painted still life of varying degrees of abstraction. Scott is an interesting artist to study, because his shapes are bold and stylised, and his source material is very familiar; fish, fruit, kitchen utensils, pots and pans.
Sometimes it is good to work from nature. Here is a spectacular sunflower from the garden. The varying shades of blue in the background will contrast beautifully with the yellow, adding vibrancy to the finished piece.
Once the background has been completed, we set about painting the flowers themselves.
