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.
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
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)
