In this lesson, instructor Renae Wang will assist you in enhancing your capacity to construct geometric and organic objects together in a still-life setup. You will discover how to implement the knowledge you have acquired thus far into a more intricate still-life arrangement.

I have been watching the first portion of this course and am wondering, why do I want to know cross contours?  Especially cross contours of the pumpkin.  I don’t have the slightest idea what is going on there.

 

Thanks for any advice,
