For the final assignment, I have tried out some composition test before picking out the one that I wanted to work on. I also did a lighting test for the composition that I picked out. After the consultation for my lighting test and composition, I need to edit that  spaces between the different element to give them more contrast. Also, apparently i should refrain from contouring too harshly for the subjects. I need to instead try to smooth them out and simplify the general shadow of them. For the elements in the background I should also take note of the different sizes I could play with to make the space more interesting.

For the interior design, I was recommended to look at Vuillard’s painting. His painting are drawn in a way that even though it looks simple but it is actually detailed enough for us to be able to tell what object he is painting.

The paintings on the way are barely visible but yet we are able to tell that those are actually paintings.

The fact that he also manages to let us feel the sense of space through his painting is really intriguing.

As for the lighting and shadows there is Caravaggio. The way he plays with the shadows to bring our eyes to the main subject of the painting. The way he uses shadows is also different in a sense that they are smooth and blended together with the lighting to give it a more subtle effect.

I will update on my work in progress for the final draft before attempting on the final piece. For the final piece, I would be using pastel.
