Still life shadow box

To give more depth to my still life paintings, I’ve made a simple still life shadow box.

Using a 24"x 15" cardboard box, I spray painted the inside with a medium flat gray primer. The clamp on light can be moved around to create all sorts of interesting cast shadows which I believe give a painting its depth.

LWW Plastic Human Skull, Numbered-A21 Review

To assist with my cast and anatomy drawing studies, I’ve decided to buy the LWW Plastic Human Skull, Numbered-A21. After reading all the reviews I got the impression that most artists were disappointed with the cheap skulls on the market, as they were poorly constructed with little detail and more suited for Halloween decoration then anatomy study. So its worth it to spend a little more for accurate anatomy.


I have to say the LWW Plastic Human Skull, Numbered-A21 is well constructed, has a good solid feel and weight with lots of detail. The teeth even look real. This is a medical study skull and definitely not a cheap Halloween prop. I got it at Amazon for $144.95 plus 11.50 shipping. Its made by Anatomical Chart Company and shipped by BBhealthy. It shipped quickly and it was very well packed.
