Ready for a Dip
8X8 Oil on Canvas
I have been struggling with my light source. I paint in a room with windows and have to block some of the light to get a readable painting. Its confusing to have too many light sources! My solution is to put my still life props into a box. I then put one strong light on my subject and that seems to work.
The title of this painting came to me after I finished painting it. The spoons seemed to be lined up waiting their turn to dive into a pool!
I know what you mean about too much light. I have a similar problem in the gallery. Excellent silver.
ReplyDeleteSharon,
ReplyDeleteThank You for your very nice comment. I think we can always learn from each other, or is it just me that has to relearn things? This light problem is so sneaky. I will be painting along and wondering "why" I am having so many problems and than it will finally dawn on me, too many light sources!
Jacklyn! You've certainly got it working - this is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove these! I'm sending link to a friend who asked me about painting silver and all I could say is "you paint the reflections in the silver"
