This is a small ceramic bottle vase that I have for my still life painting. I had not use it before but this time I have it next to an apple. I really like how the shape of the vase came about with good proportions.
Above you see the drawing of the set up. This is a simple set up of a still life that you can do. Is great for practice and as you progress you can add more subject and make it a little more challenging.
This is the drawing side by side the still life. If you notice there is a cord hanging in front of the set up (from my point of view is almost at the center of the vase). What you do is to draw the vertical line on your surface and start to take measurements using the cord as reference. This will help you to get the right proportions. I used a proportional divider but you also can use a pencil to take the measurements.
