Currently, there are no websites that offer simple still life flashcards in a timed gesture format. I have looked. There seems to be a void in this vital section of understanding simple gestures to form concepts. Maybe because they seem boring to the beginner and too obvious to the more advanced that it doesn't occur to them to spend much time on this subject matter.
But we all know how much they matter to our understanding of translating from 3d to 2d.
There are a lot of blogs, books and how-to's on youtube, yes. But no one is offering flashcards or practicals here are some simple compositions interactive forms available for the artist online on a platform that emphasises getting lines on the page this one.
I think that you could grow your website for a wider audience and give more of the gift of foundational art principles to the beginner and help the advance review the fundamentals with quicker access to interactive still life tools.
A few Ideas this section could emphasise :
Viewpoints- Having a dot(s) visible or invisible on the photograph to distinguish the vp;
Light- Optional Red lines on the form showing the Cast shadow, the highlight, and so on the photograph.
Colour- Have the same image in colour as in black and white; emphasising how relative colour affects forms on the page.
Thank you for your consideration and Maintainance of this website.
All of the best,
