Catching up with the Quilt University class that started 9 February. The first assignment: a still life. Drawings are: the example showing composition, and (below) an attempt to do it "by the book"; top right, my intuitive approach, and below, the more or less final sketch - with spotty fabric in mind.
Maybe I could use some of the spotty fabric bought in Canada:
The starting layout, in the 12x12 format -
The final result:
with a few changes of fabric. It was done in a hurry, and on looking at it again, the placement of leaves, and shape of pot, could be improved. The "animal" figurine references the plaster cupid in
this painting by Cezanne - and all the awkward objects that get put into still lives because they just seem to fit the space.
