Shades of gray


Today we drew from observation of a still life. We first colored the whole paper black then rubbed it down with paper towels to turn it gray. Then we started by using an eraser to take away gray and leave white. We had to use 5 different shades of gray to make this still life come alive. I think I did this pretty well because my shades were evident and my drawings proportions were pretty accurate. I did not really face many challenges with this exercise because it was pretty straight forwards. The only challenge was making things that were not gray into different shades so they seemed their real colors.
