Wet Paint, now we are cooking! I tried out my new still life set up based on a combination of tips from Qiang Huang and Carol Marine. It worked out pretty well and got me a little more accustomed to working with the lighting in my new studio.
I hope you all notice that the photo today is much better than my previous post. I have been playing with a couple of editors and I have to say that I think iphoto did a better job than photo shop.
Anyway, I am pretty happy with this little guy. I have always wanted to paint kiwis and I like the contrast between the green flesh and the pink ground. White coffee cups are just an artist's excuse for painting reflected color. I had lots of fun with the kiwi on the shadow side of this cup.
While I was painting this set up I kept thinking that the cherries were trying to escape from the cup while the kiwis were feeling left out.We always want what the other guy has!

Hope, this is a gem. I like the periwinkle background.
ReplyDeleteI love it, Hope! To me, the components look so intentional versus puzzled. That is, each brush stroke counts and is confident. I really must try still life again.
ReplyDeleteWe are back in Alberta with much chaos happening. I am painting today but walls, not canvas.
It has been wonderful meeting you, seeing your work, and experiencing your generosity. I will write more when I can breathe.......breathe..
Love,
Verna :-)
