Transparent Objects: Tonal Values In Refraction And Distortion






The following piece was produced on grey A3 paper with charcoal and white pastel in 1 Hour 20 minutes.

The values used with in the piece are of a high contrast, this for example can be specifically noticed in the glasses where highlights are presented.

The lighting is indirect in which causes a terminator effect on some of the glasses, the lighting in the piece also affects the form of the glasses as well as the materials, by having lighting in the scene we're able to see through the glasses transparency, this creates distortion when one glass is in front of another as seen in the piece.

Where shadow is concerned it's possible to see that the glasses cast a shadow onto the table along with the place mat and shadow is also used for the chair in the background, this creates higher contrast as it's very dark as apposed to the highlights on the glasses.

Constructively the base of the glasses are kissing on the left hand side and almost on the right hand side.

The ellipses on the bottom of the glasses could also be corrected as they are at an incorrect angle, the shadows of the glasses could also be a lot stronger on the right hand side.
