COLOR PENCIL: Still Life

Yesterday the class made color pencil drawings from a still life. The three drawings above illustrate very different techniques in the handling of the materials. 
Jose
 Jose has applied a very light touch in rendering the color patterns observed on the various objects. By allowing the paper to show through many of the objects the positive and negative areas are united while creating a dreamy, surreal atmosphere.
Julianne
 Julianne has employed a more dense and saturated application of the medium. The colors are bold and rich. Notice the rhythm established by the placement of red and orange hues.
Nick
Nick's approach is more expressive in comparison to the previous two. The strokes and marks from the pencil swirl around the light patterns adding energy and dynamics to an otherwise stationary composition.
