This drawing took around 30 minutes, on A3 paper using soft pastel. The study focused on the use of colour within still life, to demonstrate this, objects were chosen of various material and type for a multitude of colour techniques. The vantage point while simple, allowed for interesting shadows going onto the side of the table.
Overall the colour came out well however the proportions and drawing quality suffers. The shadows work well to describe the surface. By limiting my choice of pastels the image is able to keep a consistency through tonal and complimentary conditions. The use of green is apparent on all objects subconsciously linking them together, also the green which was used on the bottle worked well at depicting the reflective quality of glass.
However as stated before the weakest point comes from the lack of proportion and correct sizing while observational techniques were used effectively in the colour, that cannot be said for the proportions. There is also a lack of detail to the table whether bringing more detail to the table would be beneficial or not due to losing the objects detail and possibly losing focal points in the drawing however at least shading would have help bring the table into the third dimension.
