Candy Still Life

Artist Statement:

The subject of this creation is the candy, and the setting is on a table. I used graphite, charcoal, and ink to create this piece. I also used value and put shadows when needed. I chose to create this specific piece because I like all three candies I used, and the way they looked. This piece contains shape because it has a couple of different shapes. It also has value because I used value on the candy.

There is only one composition rule/technique in this piece, and that is rule of thirds, because the peppermint is in that spot. When creating this piece, I had to blend a lot to fix up the candies. Also, I was originally going to draw a Kit Kat, but I decided to draw the Reese's instead.

This project has some of my favorite candies in it, so that's how it relates to my life. If I could change this piece in the future, I would fix the shadows and make them more shadow like. I would also blend the overall piece better.
