Pastel Still Life



To plan my composition I brought in three nail polish bottles and put one nail polish bottle in front of the other two to add dimension and make it more symmetrical.  I used a thumbnail sketch to plan where each bottle would go.  A thumbnail sketch is a small sketch that isn't detailed but shows where you want your objects to go.  The viewfinder helped me decide the angle and perspective I wanted to use for my still life.  To make my items appear three dimensional I added value, shading, and shadows.  To create a light source I made one side of the wall and table darker, and I added a shadow going the opposite way of the light.
