Monthly #31 - Still Life on a Kitchen Table - Discussion Thread

I am sure that people will have questions about the restrictions I am placing on the subject this month...
so I am starting a topic for it.

This is the rubric...
to save you switching to and fro:

It is grey, wet and miserable here today...
so I have decided on an indoor topic...
"Still Life on a Kitchen Table"...
but to make it more of a challenge...
you are to include three or more items from the following list:

bell
book
candle
tablecloth or other fabric
keys
orange or other citrus fruit
non-citrus fruit
biscuits
kitchen cutlery
kitchen crockery
a well known cooking implement
obvious cooking ingredients [which can include un-plucked game!]
a wine or beer bottle and glass [you can fill it...]

you are not restriced to what is listed above...
but you must include a minimum of three of them...
and three of one item counts as one item!

But the end result must be clearly kitchen focused...
and as some people won't have a kitchen table...
I will allow "worktop" to act as table.

Lighting and framing... no restrictions.
B&W, monotone or full colour... your choice...
all I have done above...
is what you would find in a still life art classroom...

And I don't mind if you want to recreate any famous oil paintings...
or draw inspiration from them...
so, take over the kitchen as your studio and get composing!

So, if you have a question...
please post it here and I will endeavour to clarify!!

I really like the sound of this one.

I hope that you enter then, Ken....

You need to post your entry in the Competitions area at the top of the page.

It's under Gallery>Competitions

This thread is just a discussion thread.

Sorry if I have confused the situation by posting a copy of the rubric for this month's competition...
but this is a discussion thread and not the competition itself.

Unfortunately, if you use your enclosed instructions (Forum topic created here ...), fails me to publish my picture in the monthly contest !! ????
Nice day.

You need to make your entry here:

Hope that helps!

I'm really sorry velimir, but your entry has had to be removed anyway. In the monthly competitions the images must be taken during that month. So for the current competition images must be shot in January 2015. Unfortunately your was dated 2009.

Just over an hour to go, so you need to be quick to get your last minute entries in!
