Still Life: 1

This is my first piece of still life that I drew during one of the observational drawing  sessions. The composition of this piece has several points of interest, the first being the large vase which would be the first thing that the viewers eye would be attracted to. Then form there the line in the image would move them onto the smaller glass vase containing the flowers and then onto the flowers in the back of the arrangement. The balance and contrast we're fair in that the lighting in the piece was very well placed which led to it having a good quality of shading which is evident in the objects, however is not as detailed in the drapery on the tabletop. It is also good that none of the objects are kissing or near kissing nor were any object orphaned which shows a well placed arrangement of the objects.  This is also shown by the lack of any of the objects being centralised . Overall it is a decent piece which could use a little more work on the shading in the lower section of the drawing.
