Candy Still Life

I created a Candy still life drawing. In this drawing I used colored pencils and and a 2H pencil to outline my objects before I finished coloring them. Some techniques I used are outlining, drawing and burnishing. I used color, shape, space, value, and texture in my drawing. To add interest to my art I used contrast by picking a dark color for the shadows while most of the candy was a lighter, brighter color. I also used balance in my art by strategically placing the candy on the view finder paper. This completed work makes me feel happy because I pushed my skills and tried new things to make it better. By creating this work I learned that burnishing is really important to make the piece look completed. In future pieces I might want to try just using two contrasting colors to make it more interesting.
