We had a lovely display of Oriental porcelain, pottery, brass items and a sculpture of a five headed dragon. With such a multitude of interesting subject matter I decided to break it down into three separate pieces. The first was of Oriental porcelain, a clay tea pot and a fan set on a red and gold patterned cloth.
Oriental Pottery
The next sketch was of the section with the two brass bowls with a black lacquered porcelain vase that was inlaid with ivory.I didn't like the position of the vase so I took artist's licence and moved it over.
I look forward to painting the reflected red from the cloth into the brass.
Brass and Porcelain
The final sketch that I started but didn't have time to finish was of a pewter plate, the small brass bowl and the dragon sculpture.
Brass, Pewter and Dragons
After lunch I sat the Abstracting from Life show at the Gallery in the afternoon before returning home.
I will post these pieces after the drawings are completed and I have started to apply paint.
