Clay Pot with a Lotus Flower
Designs · Vessels Deco · ART · Vessels
A round-bodied lidded pot painted in black, gold and crimson. Three large sunflower rosettes are set into arched panels around the belly, separated by radiating petal bands, with a beaded collar at the neck and a stepped foot below. A strong exercise in fitting circular motifs onto a curved surface so they read correctly from the front.

Treat it the way you would a worked example in mathematics. Look at how the composition is arranged, where the focal point sits and how light and shade describe the form - then set up your own version rather than copying this one.
