Candy Still Life

The setting of my project is a nice washed blue colored background with Whoppers, a Whopper wrapper, and both a wrapped and unwrapped Starburst. I used water color for the background, charcoal for shading, and colored pencil for filling in the sketches. I decided to put the Whoppers in the middle to fill that middle space, I then thought it would look cool to put the wrapper off the corner like the Whoppers were spilling out. I thought that the pink of the Starburst would add a bit of color, same with the orange designs.

I used the rule of thirds technique by splitting things up by using my view finder Mrs. Medsker had handed out to us. I didn't change much with this project, I liked the placement and colors so that was what I went with.

I really like pink Starbursts and Whoppers, which is why I chose Whoppers, but I didn't expect to open the Starburst package and get two pink ones. It was a huge coincidence. I really love blue and candy, so that is somewhat how the project relates to my life. If I would change something, I think I would have added just a bit more detail to the Whoppers wrapper, and I would make the Whoppers more circular as well. But overall, I am fine with the way it looks...
