To use strong compositional skills to depict a fruit or vegetable,
To use knowledge of color and a variety of brush strokes to paint a still-life
What worked well for me was using the palette knife. It gave the painting an interesting texture and it made it more abstract looking, so there was less pressure to make it look realistic and detailed. I also liked for color schemes to using contrasting colors (even if they weren't 100% complimentary). It made the painting more interesting and vibrant when there were colors opposite each other on the color wheel. I will definitely use these techniques when I am painting my final still life since they worked best for me.
