Course work: A second sketch of the potted plant, on a rectangular table by another arm chair. I abandoned this one fairly early, having concluded that the front-lighting was less than optimal, and that the lamp and the chair had become the dominant features, rather than the plant. If I wanted to use this location, I think that I would have to work after dark, light it from the left, and work closer to the subject in order to increase the prominence of the plant.
