DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Evening.
LIGHTING NOTES:
An oil lamp (above the characters & out of view) provides a warm yellow glow that illuminates this scene.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
From left to right: Simon/Peter, Jesus the Christ, John (son of Zebedee and brother of James).
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This picture shows Jesus sitting at the low table, holding up the cup of wine & giving thanks to God the Father in heaven. To his right (the viewers left) is Simon/Peter, while John (son of Zebedee and brother of James) is on his left (the viewers right).
I deliberately kept the background & rest of this scene simple (with minimal detail) so as to concentrate the viewer’s attention on Jesus & the significance of the cup of wine he is holding.
