Members gathered for the Guild September monthly meeting eager to try their hands at a Cubist style painting using a still life as a starting point. Each member set up a small still life or brought a photo to use as a reference. They worked in a variety of mediums including pastel, watercolour and acrylics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still Life by Alan Morgan<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Each artist had a different approach – I sat next to Alan Morgan who has worked in this style for a number of years and he suggested stating with a pencil drawing of the subject and then superimposing a grid of shapes in which to distort the original drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started this way but found myself extending lines from within the drawing and finding shapes and surfaces to accentuate. It was an interesting experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
