Week 7: Transparent surfaces, refraction and distortion

On this picture, the vantage point is focused on the main body of the skeleton. As a simple 2 dimensional plane nature of the mixed media is utilized as main colour for the mid-tones.
The vanishing points are far tot he right and left in the composition. The horizon line is slightly above the foil sheets. That gives deeper distortion in the reflection of the skeleton.

The bended reflective surfaces distort the shape of the object in a way that is unrecognizable. In addition, the light adds in giving sharper contrast in the tonal values. The emitted shadow is highly dispersed in the reflection of the glossy surface. This leads tot he strange shaped refraction of the study item.

To balance the white chalk which dominate on the picture, two black chairs are added as raw and unpolished background. That does not take away the main focus of the skeleton and it's shadows and reflection. The angle of the background lines leads the eye from left to right and back in implied curved line that starts from the white top-right reflection and finishes with the second black chair.

Known mistake is the representation of the mismatched right hand. It is drawn slightly right of its original position.
