I had fun painting this one today. Eggplants are such a luscious vegetable with rich colors and reflections. I am getting more used to my Rosemary brushes and now realize that they hold paint very well and the stroke is smooth.
Thank you, Sue....there is glare on the photo which I can't seem to eliminate. I photograph under a skylight and I believe that is why I often get a glare on the raised paint.
Thanks, Jerry! I had fun with this palate. I don't often work with a darker palette and this was a conscious effort. ALso, I chose to work on a gray palette which helps me judge the lightness and darkness of the paint better.
6"X 6" Oil Ampersand Gessobord $125.00 I'm ready to chill out after this one. It was really HARD! So many petals going all different ways. I am pleased with the results. I have to laugh at myself....I thought of showing a step by step process in the painting of this peony....but....never looks like anything until the last few strokes! I am happy with this painting however I got here. This painting is found here :
