Chillies

I decided to carry on with looking at fruit and vegetables. I am really interested with the way you can take the colour and distinctiveness away from something  by changing the colour. Therefore I decided to study a chilli, a energetic, vibrantly coloured object. I first wanted to draw the colours that ran throughout it, so I used oil pastels. I feel that this went well, however I could have created more texture within it. I then decided to use charcoal. I mainly focused on the textured created throughout because in the previous piece I focused more on the colour. I am happy with how these pieces turned out, I feel that they represent the structure of the chilli well. In addition to that they create differentiation between the light and dark colours. The final sets of drawings were completed in the medium of pen, I dislike the tones created throughout this drawing. I feel that they looking nothing like the chilli when you compare them, therefore it does not really support my other observational drawings.
