This second still life painting is quite challenging. It was a struggle to paint the stripes of the cloth and the shadows. However, I like the overall colours selection of the items placed together. The focus point could be the green cup that was surrounded by the pink flowers. Another focus point would be the red bowl with directional lines (the strong contrast of cream and black lines) pointed towards it.
The composition was based on circular forms and diagonal grids. I used both warm and cool grey tones. The focus point (bowl at the center) had more cool grey tones than the rest of the painting. The blue colours create more visual interest to the painting. The point of entry could be from the bone (top) or the harsh shadow (bottom), which leads to the smaller cups (left) and then towards the bowl (center). The blue dragons on the bowl also helps to strengthen the focus point.
