Digital Painting- Still Life

Assignment 

You are to digitally paint a full still life with symbolism. It must include the following:
  1. You must start with a collage as your reference material.
  2. The values must be accurately painted based on your reference material.
  3. There must be at least 3 objects in your still life. 
  4. Those objects must be in a proper scale to one another and appear like they are sitting on a surface using cast shadows. 
  5. Each object and the objects all together must have opposite symbolic meaning! (example: life vs. death, reference the list on this page for ideas)
  6. There must be evidence of good work ethic and EFFORT!
