Still Life: day three

If you are reading this after Christmas you may have already seen a later posting in which I included some explanatory notes. In the meantime,  this is the final drawing of the 3 day session at Pegasus Art set up by Paul Fowler (see next two posts for days one and two).
All 12 participants arrived to discover their new location for this third day, and set about selecting what new artefacts might be introduced into their developing narrative.
This is a big drawing: 92cm x 113cm, and mine is completely executed using my two-handed technique (except for one or two lines which have been used to re-emphasise the spout, kneck and lid of the initial elegant copper vessel). I feel I am naturally now a 'two-handed artist'.
On this 3rd day I had to depart at 12.00 mid-day, so in total I devoted about 14 hours to this drawing, but I find that the intensity of my two-handed approach is quite exhausting and much time is required to recover, during which thought is given to selection of the next contribution to the composition/narrative.
So, I will need time to reflect on these three days, after which I will post my thoughts/analysis.
