V10 ADVANCED: NATURE & STILL LIFE
This lesson takes you step-by-step through the process of drawing a realistic three-dimensional
ceramic urn. Curriculum is designed to refine your perception skills, build mental stamina,
patience and tenacity whilst further developing your eye, mind, hand coordination.
Prerequisites for this project include:

E05 The Magic Ellipse (Cindy Wider)
J04 Transferring an Image (Cindy Wider)
K02 Drawing an Ellipse (Brenda Hoddinott)
G06 Creating a Value Scale (Cindy Wider)
This project is divided into the following four sections:

OUTLINING AN URN: You accurately measure and draw the outlines of an urn.
ADDING THE PATTERNS: You use perspective to accurately place the designs
around the urn.
MAPPING VALUES: You outline the shapes of the various tones as a value map, to
help you when shading.
ADDING SHADING: You follow along with step-by-step instructions to gradually
build up this drawing into a fully shaded three- dimensional image.
10 PAGES – 18 ILLUSTRATIONS
This lesson is recommended for artists with good drawing skills, as well as students of home schooling,
academic and recreational fine art educators.

OUTLINING AN URN
In this section you accurately measure and
draw the outlines of an urn. Figure 1001
shows a photograph of the urn on which this
project is based.
The measurements in Figure 1002 represent
the full height of the urn from the top of the
first ellipse, to the front base of the urn.
1. Use a ruler to draw a vertical line.
2. Measure and then mark dots at the

points shown in Figure 1002.
3. Measure and draw horizontal lines

along the divisions.
Refer to Figure 1003. Make sure you line up the horizontal lines so that they are all centered
along the vertical line.

4. Draw the ellipses using
the measurements as
guidelines.
Refer to Figure 1004.
A successfully drawn
ellipse has no flat
edges or pointed
corners whatsoever.
Take notice that all
parts of the ellipses
have not been drawn
(except for the top
one); this is to avoid
confusion.
Instead, just draw the
front edges of each
ellipse (the parts that
will remain visible in
your final drawing.)
It is very important to
place the ends onto
your ellipses first,
when you are not

drawing the entire
ellipse, as this helps
avoid pointed ends.
5. Add the outside edges

on to complete the
construction drawing.
6. Complete the outline

drawing.
Refer to Figure 1006 on
the next page.
7. Erase your guide lines

in preparation for
adding the patterns.

DRAWING
PATTERNS ON
THE URN
To draw patterns onto a
circular object in correct
perspective, you simply
draw a half-circle with the
same diameter of the ellipse
on the object and place it
just above the object. The
diameter of the ellipse on
the urn is 13cm.
This half circle is then
evenly divided to form
guide lines for the pattern.
Follow step-by-step
instructions to place the
pattern on the little urn you
have just drawn.
Figure 1007
8. Draw a horizontal
line (the diameter
line at 13cm long)
exactly centered
and about 9cm
above the urn.
Refer to Figure
1007.
9. Draw a vertical
line down from
the center of
the line you
have just
drawn,
measuring
6.5cm to form a
right angle.
-5-
10. Draw two diagonal lines each Figure 1008

measuring 6.5cm long, on
either side of the vertical line at
an angle of approximately
forty-five degrees.
Refer to figure 1008. This places
them at about half way between the
horizontal line and the vertical line.
11. Use these lines as a guide to then

outline your half-circle shape.
12. Using your ruler, divide this half

circle into 3cm intervals.
Begin your 3cm divisions here. These
Start your first division, just off- divisions become a guide for the next step.
centre at the bottom of the half
circle and continue dividing on
either side.
13. Use the 3cm divisions as a guide from which to draw vertical lines.
Refer to figure 1009. These vertical lines touch the ellipse on the urn at intervals that can
be used as guide lines to place the looped-pattern in perfect perspective.
See the
looped-pattern Figure 1009
in photograph
of the urn in
Figure 1001.)
14. Draw a line

through the
center of each
of these
divisions to
use as a guide
for the
maximum
height of
each
individual
curve.

15. Draw in the small curves using Figure 1010

the lines you just drew as a
guide.
16. Use the first pattern as a guide

and refer to the photograph or
the drawing below to draw on
the other details.

MAPPING VALUES
In this section you transfer
your drawing to good paper
and prepare a map for
shading.
17. Transfer your

drawing to good
quality paper.

18. Softly draw the shadow and highlight

shapes on the urn.
Refer to the photograph and drawing on
the next page (Figure 1013 and 1014).

ADDING SHADING
In this section you finish your drawing by
adding shading.
19. Draw a value scale at the top of

your paper and begin your first
layer of shading.
Refer to Figure 1015 and 1016. Only
shade your level 2, 3 and 4 tones to
begin.
-8-
Figure 1015
Use your HB and 2B pencils as needed

and remember not to build up too heavily
with your HB as it will create a glossy film
that will repel further pencil shading.
Make sure you maintain the highlight
shapes as the white of your page by
continually erasing the areas with your
putty eraser to keep them neat.

20. Apply the final layer of shading

using your 4B pencil to darken the
level 5 and 6 tones.
Remember to squint so that you can
easily see the variety of tones
Check over your drawing carefully and

change anything you’re not happy with.
Then, give yourself a big hug!

Cindy Wider currently resides in Noosa on the Sunshine Coast
of Queensland, Australia with her husband Stuart, and
daughters Isha and Sumaya.
Art philosophy
I believe that almost everyone has the natural gifts needed for learning to draw and paint, and
that art has the ability to heal and help us to reach our full human potential. Art is the missing
language that can bridge the gap in communication when words are not enough. It is my life
purpose to share my love of art, through inspiring and motivating others to realize their natural
gifts for drawing and painting.
My passion for helping others to learn to draw and paint comes from the joy and excitement I
experience through the process of creating art and my desire to share that feeling! I stumbled
upon my natural gifts for art at the age of 23years and wished I had known about it sooner.
Professional accomplishments
After ten years of serious art study Cindy went on to become one of her community’s leading
artists with her artworks gracing the walls of many of the major hotels, corporate boardrooms
and private homes as well as selling overseas. She began tutoring at the local Technical and
Further Education College in 1988 and then went on to establish the largest on-going private art
tuition school in Port Lincoln, then several years later in Noosa Queensland.
For many years Cindy worked as a part time freelance illustrator for the internationally renowned
rubber stamp company, ‘Annaleey crafts.’ In 2005, along with her husband Stuart she was
commissioned by the Microsoft Corporation to produce an original artwork for their Sydney
headquarters, and limited edition prints for the annual corporate gift to their business associates.

But now you feel the time has come to do something for yourself. If
