I have a selection of unusual soaps, by scent, color and composition - lovely to set out for guests. Of course I rarely use them .
For this EDM #101 I selected two contrasting bars and placed them in a white plate to study. I sat them on the table and looked down at the angle represented in the photo. After sketching, I wished I had viewed them from a more level angle - BUT - the bars are fairly represented. I also tried to create the plate solely with shadows. An interesting study as almost all EDM challenges are for me.

FANTASTIC bars of soap -- great detailing and colors!!! WOW!
Love them - and especially the plate which is white on white - quite a challenge!
These bars are just wonderful! So well done. wow
Excellent job! Very realistic and I'm so envious of your beautiful white dish, it's just perfect!!
These are really very very nice! good job. I too do a lot of sketches using a daylight bulb, either early morning or late at night.
great job and the shading for the plate is very well done. Cheers
great job especially on the transparency of the soaps.
Wonderful job Sandy!
Really nice job. I love how you captured the textures and the two different colours. Nice! Cheers! Mary Ellen
