Click Here for Purchase InformationThis 12" x 16" Gallery painting took me three days to finish. I usually use value as my design tool to compose, but in this one I was testing decreasing my value contrast. The brass and the background value are rather similar. I use edge treatment and local value contrast to define the shape of the brass. I also did not use white drapery for my foreground as I use to. I have not done small paintings for a while, but I will come back to it.
What beautiful clean color and lovely brush strokes.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think if you did use white drapery it would compete against the white of the plate.
ReplyDeleteLooks good to me!
The oranges and reds just pop in this painting.
