This is a 45 minute oil pastille study
of an arrangement of peppers. They are arranged in a good composition which
fits with in the rule of thirds and creates a ‘v’ shaped line by none of the
objects ‘kissing’. Shadows are created following the rules of colour theory
where the base colour for the shadow on each different coloured pepper is the
colour as closely possible to being opposite the main colour of the pepper on
the colour wheel to create realistically coloured shadows. Varying tone with
high contrasting highlights help to emulate the smooth shiny surface texture of
the peppers, and is particularly successful on the red pepper.
Light and shadow on the material
beneath the peppers, created by contrasting tonal values, give the peppers more
form by creating space between each object and showing the three dimensional
space around them.
