This is an interesting diversion from beach related paintings. It is a raw egg with shells on a whitish plate. It was a challenge on DPW. Carol Marine is the master egg painter and I have often thought I should try it, as I know it is not an easy subject. Anytime you are painting white on white, it is really important to relate the values to one another. With white, you have to make the darks so that the light areas read as highlights. I set this under yellowish lights and it gave it warm glow. These exercises push the artist out of their comfort zone and make them really study the subject and learn something new (hopefully).
