Margaret Preston has painted a still-life picture of cups and saucers, a jug and two glasses

  • What is in the glasses?
  • Observe how the dark shadows in the picture line up with the shapes.
  • Describe how the colours make you feel.
  • Imagine this still life is part of a cafe scene. Extend the picture to draw the cafe around it. Hint: if you’d like to print the image only, right-click on it and select save, then print it.
