For this assignment I chose objects that bring me joy. They are all objects that have a deep meaning to me as they are for the most part the ones I take with me as I live around the world.
At the back is a frame with a picture of myself and my grown children, in front of it a small porcelain cup which I got here in China and I love to drink tea out of. to the left a small New Testament and a Cross which make up my identity and to the right my small sketchbook that travels with me. The flowers are symbolic for the joy that nature brings me as I seek it out wherever I go. Lastly the small mandarin is a symbol of being nurtured by all these things.
I used a 4B Graphite Pencil, a black Oil Pastel, Black Ink applied with a chopstick and Willow Charcoal to make marks.
I enjoyed the drawing and I hope that the joy that these objects bring me came through. I had to have a few go s at combining the various materials and realised that the ink had to be put down first as it would not stick on the charcoal! I felt that the composition is good and that I manged to capture tone and reflections rather well, also I tried to keep the photo in the frame vague so as to push it slightly more into the background.
For the most part I am pleased with the result except for the cross which I feel I might have placed slightly more to the left.
