For this exercise I decided that my chosen interior would be my kitchen. Aside from being very small my kitchen is over 400 years old and was historically used as the horses stables. My kitchen is full and very busy and thus I felt it would be my most exciting room to draw. 

For this exercise I was to make some quick sketches of my kitchen in order to prepare me for a finished drawings. 

I looked carefully at the angles and areas of my kitchen noting where objects are placed. I decided to focus on the corner of my kitchen above my dishwasher where my microwave is placed. This area is busy with lots of objects and is in my opinion visually very interesting. 

Even though I decided to focus on this area to draw, I decided to shift my viewpoint slightly until I found different compositions that pleased me. I looked for strong tonal contrasts, textures, linear qualities and strong positive and negative shapes. 

I worked A4 size, again using collaged brown paper in the background and I used a mixture of ink with a sharp stick and biro. I also experimented working portrait and landscape. Sometimes I couldn’t fit in all of my subjects, but I found that this actually added dynamism and interest to my compositions.

The drawings I was most pleased with were the drawings where I was sat on the floor and was looking up. I found the angle on this work really exciting. 

Above is my final composition sketch for my final drawing. I used less brown paper this time so as not to take away too much from the actual compositions and I worked in biro as I could be more accurate and less scratchy. I love the angle it is at and the busyness of the piece.
