(A box set up works best.) Try 3 or 4 different arrangements of intense hues. You will pick up the different reflected colors in the shadows and highlights of your white object. It will be very notiecable.Mary Byromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12647925500872647350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136908675776802633.post-80804773498872703502010-01-23T23:52:41.085-06:002010-01-23T23:52:41.085-06:00Nicely done! maybe if instead of the yellow you ha...Nicely done! maybe if instead of the yellow you had grays and white it would give the required hollow effect.Sadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449744303894322642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136908675776802633.post-68658536271874778472010-01-23T16:33:08.900-06:002010-01-23T16:33:08.900-06:00Qiang!

Computer colors are never the same as you see, but personal taste to me would be to put a little more of the complement, purple, in the shadows. Personal taste, you paint much better than I do.

First of all you did pretty damn good seeing those "colors" in your head and being able to put them into the cup.<br />My oldest son sent me a set of china when he was stationed in England many years ago. They are from The Johnson Brothers Company. This is one of the cups........ looks familiar huh!<br />I was feeling bummed out today because I flet like I had nothing to paint. But then I see something simple, a cup, that you've painted and I get inspired all over again. So thanks for making my day.<br /><br />I love getting your emails, especially your writings....<br />Thanks<br />Ro-z<br />Ps.....Victor, if I may comment on your worrying, I think sometimes to worry can make you strive towards doing better. And I doubt if Quang eats his paint.Ro-zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329565412991876345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136908675776802633.post-23784825333414007952010-01-23T08:29:21.776-06:002010-01-23T08:29:21.776-06:00it looks great.but still you are not satisfied wit...it looks great.but still you are not satisfied with that tone.it is your greatness. please.. tell how to develop color sense.gaurishankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04450798278694436328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136908675776802633.post-25513172269601299162010-01-23T05:45:41.538-06:002010-01-23T05:45:41.538-06:00Hi Qiang.

I notice that the dutch master use zinc white with raw sienna and for the umber they add little ultramarine blue and of course titanium white for the hight light.Even with that informations I never find the real color. If I may say something on your painting I thing the cup is not enought deeper in the center. if I was you (of course i'm not )I put more darker grey (prussian blue,with raw umber and burnt sienna) on it.<br />may be that helps you I hope <br />jean-claudeJean-Claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02882899213380956642noreply@blogger.com
