In this study my emphasis was to create light and dark values.

Beautiful sketch. I have a vase like this I was just looking at today; it's cobalt blue glass. What color is yours? Will you paint this one?

I am wanting to try some lipsticks also- ala' Peggi Kroll Roberts. Sort of a girley still life...you did great with this. I really like her teaching style and found her dvd's to be exceptionally good.
Yes the pink nail posish is definitly the focal point. The blue really sets off the compostion. Your brush work the best.

Almost an abstract painting, very nice! But I have to say the red above the pink is what really catches my eye. The pink seems pretty close in color and value to the background,but the red really pops.

I am enjoying landscape painting so much.  It is partly because the Finetec waterolors that I use.  They are so incredibly beautiful....ssooooo beautiful.....each stroke is a stroke of LOVE....... www.lindahuntfineart.com

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
