SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF SHORT-TERM DEPICTION OF A STILL LIFE CONSISTING OF HOUSEHOLD OBJECTS

This study examines the challenges students face when transitioning from long-term "lessirovka" technique to short-term "ala prima" still life painting. Through practical experiments with contrasting compositions of household objects, we demonstrate effective methods for teaching color relationships, form contrast, and material textures. Results show that preparatory short-term sketches significantly improve students' ability to capture essential characteristics and maintain compositional integrity.
