Observational drawing

For this project I wanted to do some observational drawings of tea sets, the tea sets I had to hand were my late grandma’s. She was collecting them from anniversaries and other celebrations throughout her life. I found them so beautiful with the simple detail which throughout my initial research had called out to me. Previously I hadn’t enjoyed observational drawing as it had proven difficult to me to actually capture the life of the objects. I found this set difficult actually making the objects look 3D and not flat, I experimented using pencil biro and gouache paint. I feel my strongest piece is the gouache painting as I feel I actually caught the shape and light and colours perfectly. I feel the biro pieces are my weakest part as they look quite rushed even though I put a lot of effort into them.
