Cherries are OK, But a bowl of Garlic and Ginger offers endless possibilities!
Beginning with a transparent ground wash of
burnt sienna and burnt umber.

But I am confident of my drawing skills and am
concentrating on building my painting experience.
This saves a lot of time.

I don't usually do this, having always thought it akin to cheating.

nearly there!
I love the humor in the shape of the growing green. Who knows what people get out of art, huh?
ReplyDeleteNice bowl and wonderful perspective.
I love the unique composition of this. With thousands of still lifes out there, you've accomplished to make this a stand out. Thanks for including the in progress shots too!
ReplyDeleteEarthula..Humor? That's a very somber and serious bit of green!! (just kidding, I added that in during the planning of this piece as a counter point to the very monochromatic color scheme. I thought it was a bit cheerful, and a promise of growth and maybe even spring.)
ReplyDeleteSheila...thank you for the very nice comment. I guess the world will just have to bear another still life for now!
I like everything about this! The unusual perspective gives the bowl and it's contents kind of an austere status. It is nice to see the steps. Thanks for sharing your process!
