Final drawing 3

This final still life piece was done in soft pastel, in an hour. The arrangement was done so that the eye sight follows an implied line, which is aided by the drapery, from the main focal point in the area of the brushes to the oil paint tubes. The overlapping of the objects, as well as the presence of lighter and darker areas create the illusion of depth. The tints of the drapery or the shades on the wall also help to create a contrasting effect. The method employed for the colours is a burnishing one, a realistic effect was achieved for the most part though there are several areas that could be improved even more.
