Week 6 - Still Life

Still Life Drawing of Plastic Flowers - 30 mins

A3 Size

This is a 30 minute sketch of an arrangement of plastic flowers using pencil. There were three light sources used in this scene; these were used to create light and shadows and pick out the details upon the flowers.

One of the flowers was taken out of the jug and placed on the table to create a vantage point that would start at the very top of the flowers and flow down to the bottom of the table where the single flower is laying. The position from where I was drawing from was very good as I had a good view of the composition of this still life set-up as it flows rights across the draped table giving me a great focal point.

To improve upon this drawing I would have liked to have gotten better form of the table as this is not a strong element of this drawing and is the wrong shape to what it originally was. The single flower laying on the table is also too big which makes the table and jug of flowers look too small.
