Drapery


This drapery assignment was tough. The whole class struggled with it; even the professor's demo went awry. :) The two girls next to me did a pretty good job though. The hard part about drapery is that the values in the folds are so close together. In my initial block-in, I made the colors too far apart and it looked horrendous. I had to wipe it all out with turpentine and start over, which shook me up a bit. Fortunately it turned out okay.

It turns out pretty good, I think.
It's hard to express one material in different ways with color and shades. This drapery looks like it's moving, not still, though. If it was your intension, that turns out great. Your vase looks more transparent than previous work.

I think I was pretty traumatized by the time I got to the vase. :)
