This still life drawing was completed in 2 hours and was done using chalk pastels on coloured paper. The arrangement of the objects is a balanced one which mixes various materials and is composed of two main colours - yellow and pink, with the entire scene done in a dark room with hard light.
The entire drawing has an interesting artistic style, and this is due to the impressionistic technique used, as well as the vivid colours chosen. There was an evident lack of focus on the correct representation of the objects, and because of this reason the perspective isn't perfect, especially for the glass or ashtray. The creases of the cloth should have been observed more carefully as well, for a better finish. Other details however are nicely suggested with short chalk strokes and strong highlights, and this manner of drawing creates various points of interest across the drawing - the shine of the apples, the metal chain, and the edge of the ashtray on the right.
Some materials were described well, such as the shine of the glass or the metallic ashtray, as well as the rings of the gold chain. The highlights on the apples are exaggerated though, and this effect makes them look as if they are made from a shiny material, rather than a matte organic one.
