"Still Life - Skull, Crow and Bottle" by Sylvia Stepp — gray pencil with red outlines; water in bottle, draped stands.

Still Life - Skull, Crow and Bottle

Sylvia Stepp / May 15, 2025

From my freshman drawing class at CCS. A still life of a water-filled bottle, a skull, and a crow on draped stands — gray pencil throughout, with red outlines on each subject pulling them forward from the page.

"Still Life" by Sylvia Stepp — skull atop two books, bones, two gourds, a woman's face, sheer scarf with stars, and fur.

Still Life - Layered

Sylvia Stepp / July 14, 2023

A layered still life — a skull atop two books, bones, gourds, a woman’s face, a sheer star-patterned scarf, and fur — a study in texture and the symbolic weight of everyday and mythic objects.

Still Life - Cans & Brushes

Sylvia Stepp / July 15, 2022

A still life of working tools — a paint can topped with a brush, two more brushes on the ground, and a gas can with handle and screw top — a study in metal, wood, and the texture of practical objects.
