We request drawings and paintings of still-lifes in color because they give us an idea of an applicant's ability to perceive, render and use color. Still-lifes also afford us an opportunity to assess the applicant's skill with design and composition. In addition, we look at the applicant's use of perspective and handling of light on form. Images must be drawn from direct observation and without the use of photogrphy. An applicant's portfolio must include at least three realistic still-lifes in color. Note: Please do not include botanical, biological, medical or other scientific illustrations among these compulsory pieces.
All images are copyrighted by the respective artist. All rights reserved.
