I meant to post this much earlier today, but things just got in the way. My goal this week is to try and finish 3 small paintings this week -- the strawberry one that's almost done . . . this new tomato one (measures about 4.5" x 6") . . . and another one with some more berries and cherries. We'll see how I do. I'd like to squeeze in some more time on my Nantucket basket too -- oh boy.
In other news . . . I had a great first class tonight for my "On The Vine" workshop. Unfortunately one of my students wasn't able to join us due to an emergency -- hopefully though, everything worked out and all is well now. She and her family are lovely people.
Thanks for dropping by . . .
Great colors! may i ask why did you paint the shadows first? Do you paint darks first? In any event, I love your shadows.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Liana. Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. Hmmm . . . I don't really know why I painted the shadows first. I think I mainly like to work background to foreground. Also, lately, I've been trying to develop my darks early on, so that I can have a "compass" so to speak with regards to establishing my range of values for the painting. Values are difficult for me.
DeleteLove the glow in the cherries, Kara...
