Striped bottles and vases


michela l.

Another exercise in light and shade for classes 2 (grade 7-8), made with colored pencils. When the bottles and jars are colorful, they are glued on a new sheet in a free composition where you have to pay attention to the shapes that are ahead and those who are behind. After pasting the bottles you draw the cast shadow with a pencil.

    1. Hi! As you can see in the third photograph, we use normal colored pencils... Crayola, Comte, Faber Castell... I don’t know which kind of pencils you can find in your country. The secret is to use a different pressure of the hand to create value. Ask me any further question!

  4. These are gorgeous. And the high contrast of the stark black and white background takes it to a whole other level. Thanks for sharing!
