"I feel such creative power in myself that I know for sure that the time will arrive when, so to speak, I shall regularly make something good every day. But very rarely a day passes that I do not make something, though it is not yet the real thing I want to make."
~Vincent van Gogh (Letter to Theo van Gogh, 9 September 1882)
Fused Glass Powder Sgraffito Drawing 30 in 30 Challenge 2015
Today's Challenge for Day 21:
Compose a collection of flowers in a container.
You may use dear Vincent's painting as a reference photo, or create your own arrangement.
Again, try to stick with using only black glass powder, as tempting as color may be...
Focus on achieving a nice value range, white, light, middle, dark, black
Squinting at your work will help you see if you have a good range of shades, if things look flattened, you probably need more values in your range.
Pay attention to flowers that are not front-facing, and try your best to place some flowers in front of others to create depth.

It's getting a little tougher, isn't it?
We're going to step it up a bit over the next 9 days.
These glass sgraffito drawings just keep getting better and better!
You may use any tools at your disposal, and spend as much time as you like.
No painting for me today... I was babysitting a 2 1/2 year old, can't look away for a moment.
Still waiting to see 60 flowers on the blog page from a few days back...
beautiful!
