I did 2 completed studies for this exercise. The first is in chalk pastels on a dark ground. I thought that the dark ground was useful in contrasting the light areas but that the medium is more difficult to control. I also felt that the composition was successful and I enjoy the contrasting rectangular spaces which off-set the round shapes of the bottles and fruit.
The second work was rendered in watercolour pencils and I felt that the medium was far more conducive to accurately capturing the variations in tone and colour.
Overall I was more pleased with the first composition as it seemed a bit more interesting and dramatic in a sense.
