This week we were asked to experiment with different shading of still objects. We practiced our shading techniques using different lighting, angles, and objects. There was also the use of different mediums such as charcoal, water color, paint, and chalk. At first I had the idea to create a print using a technique similar to my former blog post with the fish. After painting a slice of orange and printing onto a sheet I realized that it didn't capture the detail or the light the way I would like.
My final piece turned out to be a still life drawing of an orange done in chalk. I made sure to surround the orange in a dark red. I also varied the shades of the background, creating a darker red towards the corners. I did this in the orange its self also, using different shades of yellow and orange to express where the light would be hitting or casting a shadow. Along with different yellows, reds, and oranges I used a dark purple in order to act as the shadow that the orange would be casting. Throughout creating this piece I experienced difficulty while attempting to blend colors in order to show where the light would affect the orange, but was over all satisfied with the final piece.
