This drawing is a collaboration of 1 minute sketches of a variety of still-life set ups. In each, the main focus is on composition and how the arrangement of objects works well together. Each sketch has an interesting vantage point that differs from one another in terms of light and tonal values and makes each composition appealing. The simplicity of the first one consisting of a large bottle and a flower in a vase, contrasts well against the busier top one, consisting of the same bottle, vase and flower but with an additional small jug and cylinder container.
Within these three compositions line of sight is used and differs between each, from straight down through the middle in the first and third composition, whilst the second uses a V-shape, from the jug, to the small tin, back up to the flowers. With this sketch the eye is allowed to wander across these differently sized objects whereas in the first and last one it's simpler and the vantage point is more fixed.
With more time improvements could have been made such as more intricate detail on the composition and the use of shading in some areas. The drapery introduces depth into each composition but could also be improved by introducing detail in the foreground and background instead of keeping them moot. The shape and form of the objects could also be more proportionally correct, to further emphasise a visually appealing composition.
