12-3: Ian McKown's The Still Life-Learning to See
There are roughly 8 ways of approaching a still life, but i believe one based on value, light versus dark, edge control and temperature sensitivity are the surest and least subtle ways of going about it. Tattooers can benefit from this type of exercise as it allows them to accurately see the relationships between objects, the way light moves from one subject to the next, and how to bring it together in one believable composition.
