August 2009 Painting Project: Still Life with Blue

Create a still life in which the main component is blue.

By , About.com Guide

The challenge of this month's painting project was to paint a still life dominated by blue. As blue can be a cool color, and recede into the background rather than dominate, you'd need to consider your composition and the elements you put into the still life carefully.
