Vanitas are symbolic still lift paintings. Some examples of the symbols which are commonly used include things like skulls, clocks, candles, and flowers. Each symbol has a meaning, each of the ones above mean death. Vanitas are very traditional type paintings, they were especially popular in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Form, colour, texture, and composition are all important techniques to use when painting a Vanita.
