Week: 3 Composition




This is a 35 minute still-life composition finished piece. It is about the plan, placement and arrangement. It was my last attempt  a live draw, and it was completely different from my previous work; it doesn't even share proximate similarities. In the final work, the drawing's surface grew spontaneously as it progressed. The sketch is composed of both positive and negative shapes. The objects on the table and in the background all react to light differently with transparent, shiny , and shaded surfaces. In addition, the drawing has a distinct dark side.
There is a huge reflection in the vase, and the composition reveals rough and hard surfaces especially in the smaller objects. Along with the rough and hard surfaces, I also produced a smooth surface with a curved line. I really like the lips different angles; it's fluid and draws attention to the variation in the lips vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. Using charcoal, it's difficult to control the lips.
