Assignment 2

  Preliminary sketches

I decided on my composition from these sketches by looking at light souses, angles and arrangements I felt the first  one was most successful as it made best use of negative space with the antlers finishing on the same line as the bottle.                      
                                  

Media.
I went with oil pastel as it could give the richness I was after as well as gives the ability to build up a large number of layers which I was going to need to capture the skulls form using colour.


Final piece.

I think that oil pastel was the correct  use of media for this piece. As I think the layers built up by it has given a good sense of form especially in the case of the skull. I also think the piece came together to create the richness I wanted.
However there are flaws in the prospective in areas of the skull as well as the bottle seeming to be tipped back on its self.
