The Spice of Life
Rory, Age 18
The Spice of Life is the final composition in my higher art folio of the same theme. I accumulated everything I was trying to portray throughout the folio in one drawing—intensity, flavour, aroma, heat and a rich harmony between the different spices. I used coloured pencil to portray vibrant colours and varying textures from grainy turmeric to shiny metallic spoons. The circular composition invites the eye and provides a busy, yet balanced viewing experience.
