Music Box February 3, 2022 8" X 12" Toned mixed media paper, colored pencil, white gel pen
This is a colored pencil still life of cinnamon candies, Coca-Cola bottles, and a miniature wind-up music box. I started with a 4 by 6 grid to help me sketch out accurate the objects in accurate proportions. Then I mapped out the highlights with a white colored pencil before layering colors to give value and depth to the candies. Layering was also used to put the reflections on the music box and bottles.
