This painting was an exercise with Carol Marine's latest challenge--to paint every brush stroke with a different color. I love this exercise, partly because when I first start a painting this is frequently how I approach it anyway, though I never thought about it before. But what I discovered is that after the initial lay-in, I get lazy, and that's where the rule to load the brush with a different color makes all the difference.
Purchase this unframed painting.

Thank you, it makes perfect sense when I read what you wrote. You've done a great job of explaining this. I think I'll give it a try.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous whites on the kettle, but the little spots that show through that make it look aged are so sweet! Wonderful shadows on the left side. Those apples are really nice- love your colors- wonderful brushwork and your values are the bomb:)

ReplyDeleteThank you all for your comments! I am trying a more downward perspective, which is not something I ordinarily do, and it is really interesting to try to get it right.
