This is another painting I did at Carol Marine's workshop. She really worked with us on getting the values and reflected light right and I am happy with how this turned out. At first I didn't like the orange because we had done exercises all morning and I painted an orange 10 times trying to get it right, so by the time I did this one I honestly hated oranges! I like them now and I love the shadows on this orange. Compositionally it looks like a giant moon revolving around two little planets! #65

Well done. I was feeling the same way about the eggplants I painted in the ten minute exercise.
ReplyDeleteThis was my second workshop with Carol and I know I'll be doing more. I've never met a better teacher.
I like this one a lot - the shadows are great and so are the highlights- I emailed you from my penciltopixel@comcast.net account, but I have a feeling you didn't get it, so I just resent it from my lisa@thebigcvisualjournal.com account - I hope we can catch up soon!
ReplyDeleteThis is really nice. Great contrast and dimension. Looks like the workshop is very helpful!
ReplyDeleteI really like this one. Keep up the great work.
