Concentration #8

8.75" x 5"

Colored Pencil on Watercolor Paper 

For my eighth concentration piece, I chose to down size the proportions that have previously used. The design of this piece is designed to create an interesting yet simple work of art that is attractive and exciting. The blue value change in the background creates depth. The hue of the cloth underneath the stacked cups creates a repetition of the warm colors repeated throughout the cups. The repetition of blues throughout the entire piece creates unity. The placement of the cups on a diagonal slope create a sense of movement and drama.  The converging lines that are created through the brim of the top two cups point towards the focal point, which is the larger white cup. The emphasis on this cup, being the lightest light, also emphasizes that it is the focal point.
