The Charcoal boxes and pumpkin family composition is drawn on an A2 sheet of paper which is placed in a portrait format. This drawing was drawn from original items that were place in this composition. The drawing was captured from a bird’s eye view and it was drawn in the evening.  The whole idea of this composition is to study the forms and proportions of each item.  We use tonal value to create the forms of each item by using three different charcoal colours for example black, brown and white.  Form is created by the source of light that falls on each item to bring focus to the viewer’s eye. The shadow is used to show volume in the item.  This drawing would be applicable for a grocery store, kitchen wall and in a restaurant where the guest are situated.

These vegetables produce the same type of orange flower and have the same form of leaf. They grow on the surface like a creeper. They are all part of the same vegetable family. The texture of these vegetables has a smooth surface but the squashes are more round than the butternut and pumpkin.  The negative space and positive space works in harmony with each other.  If you are interest in buy this charcoal boxes and pumpkin family drawing then please contact me and I will even advise you as to how best to frame it.
