Expressing White With Colors


This was a project I worked on last semester in Intro To Drawing. We were learning how to draw white objects in color. The original instructions were to choose either cool colors or warm colors to use on your project. I just really liked the blend of warm and cool to give my white objects a sort of realistic coloring. The easiest part of this oil pastel piece was the object to the far left. The geometrical shapes made it easy to place the colors where they needed to be. On the contrary, some of the harder challenges i faced was making the blue glass vase in the back not look like one of the white objects. To overcome this challenge, I decided to make the blues more defined and darker and to make the highlights and reflections in the glass really white so they stood out more. I think the blending of my highlights and shadows, being cool and warm colors, worked nicely. It was difficult to make sure they didn't blend to become green, but overall i think it turned out really well.
