| Wall Still Life Matthew D. Hughes Charcoal on Rives BFK 22 x 30 inches Completed April 2011 |
The assignment was to draw from a still life that was setup on the wall. Each student had a different still life to work from. By the time I came into class, all the "cool" still lifes had been chosen -- cool being defined as containing skulls, leather, or reliefs. This was the best I had to choose from. However, looking at the composition now, I am quite pleased with the movement the objects create and how it leads the eye around the picture plane. Additionally, the repetition of the model railway ties and the repetition of the two hexagonal objects (I still have no clue what they were) serve to unify the composition in a way that I was unaware of upon beginning my drawing.
