Heavenly Blackberries



These babies were really difficult to paint.  I tried to capture the planes to give form and to capture the depth and light.  Quite challenging indeed.  The colors were dense and dark and I really had to vary the value and color to get it to read like berries.  I used a simple palette of Alizarin Crimson, Cad Yellow Med, Ultramarine Blue, Titanium White, Naples yellow, and a tad bit of Magenta.

I had the same problem painting blueberries. I had to find the pattern of shapes and forms not the individual berries.But it is a fine line between where those edges become important to emphasize or not. I think you threaded the needle as well as it can be done.
I think this is going to show up as my husband Tom posting but it is really me. Your friend Jo
