Week 6 - Still Life: Natural & Man Made Forms


Week 6 - Still Life: Natural & Man Made Forms

Quick Sketches (Top Image)
The sketches are multiple views of a natural and man made piece, they represent the research into what was about to be produced and although it's not considered a finished piece, it shows an understanding of composition in short periods of time along with focal points.

The contrast in lighting is low as the vase and cloth are considered the darker values, this brings out the focal point in which could be considered the cabbage or pumpkin, the implied line takes the viewers eyes around the table starting with the pumpkin which is the brightest object on the table.

The light source would be to the right of the objects hence why the shadows are to the left, the highlights can be seen on the objects such as the pumpkin and the cabbage, this is slightly incorrect as the vase behind the cabbage should have been brighter along with it. The shadows should have been more dynamic and show more contrast in the tones of shading.

Texturing wise the cloth has been shaded far greater than that of the previous weeks in which I explained my cloth shading was poor, this brings that realism to the piece where previously I struggled.

Reflection should have also been considered on the vase.
