Pottery, brass and copper

A still life from art class. Habib is on holiday, so Jyoti and I put this together...ceramic pots, brass candle stands, my brass 'paan dan'. I loved the colours, the reflections, the tones and shades.  I'm not too happy with the composition though..maybe replacing the tall candle stand with a potted plant may have added a little more character to this composition. I enjoyed painting it though and I'm pleased with this picture. The challenge was to try and get the shine of the brass and the dull look of the pots! I have used the same hand made paper and seem to be getting the hang of it!
