Classroom Still life

This was our first project that we did in class. We had to study still lifes for a few weeks and create three pieces from the still life. This was my first piece, and I used graphite to create values in this piece. This one was my favorite out of the three.

This was one of the first homework assignments that we had to do this year. I really wanted to use lots of warm colors and neutral tones and then I added the cool colors in the shadowing and the clothing. The bottom part of this piece felt empty, so I decided to add more figure drawings with white charcoal.
