Title the next page in your sketchbook: “EMPHASIS”
Take the picture from the corner of your table.
(You need colored pencils and glue.) Use color to emphasize one object in the still life picture.

2. Use COMPOSITION techniques-
Why not in the middle?
Use COMPOSITION techniques-
Size, view, or placement?
