still life sketch
Drafted composition of objects
A still life sketch is a drawing of inanimate objects—fruit, flowers, bottles, household items—arranged as a composition.
The term combines still life (the artistic genre depicting motionless subjects) with sketch (a quick, informal drawing).
Artists use still life sketches to practice technique, study light and shadow, or plan larger works: She filled her sketchbook with still life sketches of objects on her desk.
