Shot Experiment 8"x8" oil #231


Let's see...how many ways can it go wrong? I did the Carol Marine challenge to do a series of 10 minute paintings of the same object (yes they are the same!). So, how can you make this difficult exercise even more difficult? Well, I chose a weird shaped clear shot glass and I am not very used to painting clear glass. Then I decided to change the lighting for each one and the angle/height. The shadows were really weird too because it was overhead top-down lighting. Then I don't think the palette I chose was quite right....anyway it was difficult and I learned a lot (like I think the next time I do this I will choose a box or orange.....

  1. These are really beautiful! I love them all. The one in the lower right could have been painted by Carol herself.
