Still Life - Kettle Composition

Using gum strip, newspaper cuttings and grey paper to present 3D qualities to what started as an observational drawing of the suspended kettle. But what was crucial about this piece was the negative space around the point of interest, it was here where most of my effort was focused, the gum strip in particular worked really well as it gave an approving contrast to the diverse tone from the vibrant ink washes. The outcome proved to be a good example of how I could implement different perceptions of tone through different materials.
