Final- Still-Life Drawing

Here is an hour and 45 minute Final Life drawing from an original 30 minute drawing, of a single still-life set up, chosen from a variety of different shaped an sized objects. The main focus is on the composition and arrangement of the objects included. There is an implied line established from the line of objects in height in order from front to the back. This conveys the audience into the focal point in then center where the three objects contrast against each other.

The shading in this drawing, particularly around the small glass container, coveys how light reacts to different surfaces such as glass and metal. It helps the viewer understand that its not an opaque object but a transparent one. The shading gets darker where the two objects behind it are visible and is very bright where the light travels through without hitting anything. However in other areas such as the tall vase, may have been slightly overcompensated when concerning the shading around the neck, though in turn with the use of a rubber tried to amend this slightly.

Carrying on from that, the perspective is difficult to esablish due to the uncertainty of the small glass container, the line seems to edge closer to the back, leading the audience into a false acknowledgement that its slightly off hand. The high values of tone and shadowing on the tall vase emulate its characteristics against the lesser smaller jug, the tone also implies depth within the objects.
