Still life

Hi :) I went to Art in Action at the weekend and went to a workshop on pastels.  The teacher set up three large still life groups with different themes.  I chose the oriental set and focused on this strange bottle thing. -^ The colours were really interesting as well as the shape.

Anyway, these are two of the little preparation drawings on different coloured backgrounds.  Which do you think is better?  I also did a large piece but it’s too big for my scanner and I can’t be bothered to photograph :) it’s basically the first one but larger.

Also, tomorrow is my last day before summer holidays :D :D :D

The left one for me. The muted red is less distracting than on the right, where it draws attention away from the subject.
