Linda Plotkin's composition and subject matter is very similar to what we are doing. The main difference is her use of natural lighting and atmospheric perspective out of the window as opposed to our table surfaces and artificial lighting. The subject of her still life is fruit, namely apples and spherical fruit just like us. She also use fabric something we were asked to use inour homework From a tonal standpoint, she uses her composition to identify her light and dark values so that the changes in values make sense. This composition is exactly what we learned about when we drew outside. I think this is a very a successful piece because of the vertical lines and the great representation of translucent fabric.
