What is a STILL LIFE? A still-life is a picture of objects that don't move. Often vases, bowls of fruit, bottles etc.

A still life may be a drawing or a painting. The artist looks at the objects and studies their shape, where the light falls and the shadows the objects make in relation to the other objects.
