I drew my set up first. I find that if the drawing keeps me interested, I will enjoy painting it. If I get impatient and don't want to finish the drawing, I know to do something different.
Instead of drawing it over again on my board, I decided to trace my drawing and transfer it to my board. After tracing it, I retraced on the back with a charcoal pencil, and laid the tracing paper over my board and rubbed the drawing onto it. (it occurred to me as I saw the reversed image, that the painting would look good flopped the other way too... hmmm...I couldn't decide, so I stayed with what I already had done).
Painting in... so fun! I love painting over the gray colored ground, (which is a mix of white and raw umber acrylic paint) The colors just pop!
Almost done.. just one grape to go. I love all the different colors in this one contrasted against the black book cover and gray background.
Debbie, you always have neat compositions- love the book!
ReplyDeleteYour work is lovely and I loved the explanation of your process.
ReplyDeleteDebbie I just loved your paintings esp the still lifes. I too enjoy painting still lifes but I am not able to setup one on my own. Could you please give me an idea how to setup a still life?
