You lot need only a drawing paper, some colored pencils and watercolors to create this still life in the style of CUBISM. Cubism was a revolutionary new approach to representing reality invented in around 1907–08 by artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. They brought different views of subjects (usually objects or figures) together in the same motion-picture show, resulting in paintings that appear fragmented and abstracted.

To imitate this pictorial manner nosotros need to accept three pictures of a nonetheless life: we can set information technology on a table, arranging some objects such every bit vases, bottles, glasses, fruit. We take three different shots of the same still life, irresolute framing and taking a front view, a peak view and a three-quarter view.

We copy the pictures, overlapping the drawings on the same sheet of paper. Afterward that, we color the drawing with colored pencils and paint it with watercolors (or java as I suggested in the video-tutorial. Information technology was a time of lock down with airtight shops!). Here below the video tutorial

Yous copy the 3 pictures on the aforementioned canvass of paper, overlapping the 3 unlike views.

Then with a ruler, y'all describe some straight lines that "break" and further break down the shapes.

The drawing is colored with colored pencils, choosing earthy, brown and monochromatic tones in the style of Analytical Cubism by Braque and Picasso.

Subsequently, some areas of the cartoon are painted with watercolors (or java as you can run across in the video), leaving a few small white areas. Eventually, once dry, further pencil shades tin be added.
