Picturing Still Life

Based on some very helpful feedback on last week’s drawing, I’ve been venturing deeper into the world of raw textures, reminiscent of Vincent Van Gogh’s work with still life. By applying thicker, darker marks to the paper, I create many layers of texture and color without using my finger tips to wipe away the course pattern left behind by chalk pastel. Also, I really stuck with a principle learned from last quarter about using black and white to imply shadow and reflection, only this time I supplemented black and white with lighter and darker colors for a more vivid look; a technique often used by Van Gogh.  Check out my latest: “Still Life with Oranges” under the Images tab.
