"Still Life with Teddy Bear and Silver Service" (11"X4", Watercolor, $100)
The angled tables of the classroom draw the viewer into the picture, which is full of bright colors and high contrast, since we had finally gotten a spotlight for the setups. You may recognize the swan-and-reed terra cotta dish from an earlier watercolor still life post. The fur was the main textural challenge in this picture. I feel the fur aspect came out pretty well. It all reads as fur, so that counts as a success. There's a white mukluk behind the swan dish, and of course a teddy bear on the right. I don't know what the other thing on the left is, but it looks furry. The other textural challenge was the silver sugar bowl and creamer. This stuff looks pretty silvery, so - another success!
The border is broken on all four sides, so this composition is obviously too big for the paper. I enjoyed doing this one and I plan to do more in the future.
