Finished Still Life

Well, the drawing is finished (you can click on it to see a larger version) and I am darn proud of my very first still life drawing. This morning, we had our critique in class and it was so great seeing everyone's finished pieces. We all have our different styles and perspectives. Some pieces were cropped, some were not, and all of them were interesting to look at.
This was definitely an exercise in drawing slowly and being patient! You know how well I do with being patient...

I was going to show you a few more things today, but I'm a little pressed for time, so I'll save those for this weekend. And I hope to visit some of your blogs this weekend as well. I need to get back into my normal blog commenting routine - I miss you all!!

    Wow is right!!! So many complicated objects and you did a great job!! I especially like the way you handled the wrinkles in the cloth and how they look where they meet the edge of the table.

    I don't do patient too well either Silke, but when you have a great result like you did with your drawing, it makes it worth it! ;-D
    Bravo!
    Awaiting the next assignment...

    Your patience certainly paid off Silke - this is an incredible still life picture. Are you sure that you should not be the one teaching that class?
