6" square, oil on canvas panel
I am easing into hard (opposed to organic) forms. Fruits and vegetables are so forgiving, but ellipses and metal and glass surfaces, not so much. I am choosing to think repetition in painting these things will be the answer. Also, this is really fun, except for the occasional gross failure.
You're so right. I'm a nature painter and whenever I place a manmade object in my scenes, be it a fence, house, bench etc., its so completely different. I never like it. Even people fall into the "nature" category. Its taken me years to figure out how to paint manmade objects in the same way I paint nature. They always wanted to be so "hard". I know exactly what you mean!
ReplyDeleteYou did great softening them though...
I think you captured the reflective metal beautifully!
