final piece 3- still life


this still life arrangement has some good qualities, we have a good sense of form and shape, a majority of the objects in this still life can be easy recognised, the shading on the objects also help to create the form of the objects for example the camera case has cross hatch shading which helps to show the texture and stitching of  case, some of the vases show their reflective surface, as you can see the two vases in the middle have some darker values which show the reflective surface. the main focus in this composition are the 3 vases as the sit in the centre of the rule of thirds making it the main focus for the viewer. there is some implied and actual line within this image, the implied line is evident from following the tops of the 3 vases and the actual line can be seen from the froth vases which has a strong line which connects the whole image together. the drapery is well drawn you can see how the drapery folds across the surface, there is some shading event which helps to create the form of the drapery some lights shaded lines help to create some of the folds in the drapery so it doesn't look like a flat surface, there is some darker values on the bottom of the drapery which shows some of the shadows. the composition is well balanced the 2 cube like objects (case and candle holder) are on opposite sides to one another which helps in balancing the composition.some areas do need improvement such as the bowl like object in the centre which is the weakest drawn object. the shading also need improving some of the objects have even values and don't show any evidence of shadows but other objects such as the vases have some nice shading such as the dark values across the side of the vases showing the shadow of the other vase and also some nice shading on the base of the surface which appears to be reflecting the surface.
