 * 1) ===You will set up a still-life with vegetables or fruit. It can be a combination or repeat the same one, three times.===
 * 2) ===Add in a textured or wrinkled cloth beneath your fruit.===
 * 3) ===Use a strong light source so that you can see a range of value.===
 * 4) ===Render, using colored pencils.===
 * 5) ===The dominant color should be the color you see on your object, yet remember to make shadows/lowering intensity with complementary colors. While your palette should be limited, you should mix colors for interest.===
 * 6) ===You may choose to use a non-traditional method of accumulated marks to "find" your form and its surrounding space.===


 * Purpose**:
 * To deepen your understanding of the effects of light on a three-dimensional form;
 * To capture the highlights and shadows, value changes, using colored pencil.


 * Steps:**
 * 1) Please consider your page composition before beginning
 * 2) Set up your still-life - see above.
 * 3) Draw the object, lightly with pencil
 * 4) Find the highlight and shadow and describe them using pencil, LIGHTLY
 * 5) Draw the line of the division between horizontal and vertical surfaces
 * 6) Determine the lightest hue in your object; add this color to every part of the object, except the highlight. DO THIS LIGHTLY
 * 7) Create transitions in value, moving from light to dark
 * 8) Using the complementary color and split complementary colors, lightly begin to show the shadow, both on the object and on the flat surface
 * 9) Continue to blend the complement to create a smooth transition between light and dark
 * 10) Your shadow should be obvious on the horizontal and vertical surfaces
