How Do Artists Convey Style?

The subject of this painting is mainly describing the objects on the table, or in the room. I would say that the subject of the painting looks quite realistic. Shadow is one of the major keys that make the painting realistic and real. The artist uses the light and shadow creates a quiet and gloomy mood. The biggest difference of this painting apart form other ones with similar subject is that the painting as a whole just looks dark and gloomy. The artist uses a lot of grayish white kind of colors, making the painting plain and ordinary. The word “peace” would describe the painting perfectly. Everything in the painting looks like it is not moving, so that is the reason why I chose the word “peace” to describe this painting. The setting is like in a very quite room where everything is silent. The shadow describes the lightness of this picture and we could easily see that this is neither a really dark room nor a really bright one. The lightness seemed to be coming from the right side of the room since most of the shadows are at the left side of the object, and I think that finding out the direction of the light is important when people look at a painting.
