Still life drapery


















I took these pictures earlier of the still life drapery that I set up. I used polyester, I recently bought this piece for a still life set up I had to do for my painting 1 class. I like the texture and the folds that the material creates. It was a little challenging to do the set up, because the material is very smooth and would not stay in place but I managed to get it where I wanted. I did my first set up on a chair, then I used tacks to put it on the wall over a dresser and take pictures too. I liked the way it came out on the chair and the dresser but I will choose one to draw now. I think I will do drawings of both and pick the one that appeals more then re-draw it on the 22" x 30" paper. After drawing I will update my blog on my findings.

I added three more pictures, I decided to take some more showing the background (room). I also took one picture with the drapery on the door just to see how it will look.
