Sketch Book Series: Shading Practice (August 2010)

My annotations on this sketch remind me of the surfaces I was trying to render. I captured the matte finish of the rim of the flower pot; I’m not so sure about the shiny white enamel of the base. Neither the matte nor the shiny surfaces show much tonal variation. I could have added white chalk to the shiny part to give a the base a brighter value than that of the paper.
