I have a feeling I probably should've posted this one

closer to Valentine's Day. Ah well, I couldn't wait that

long. I'm feeling better about painting on Ampersand

Gessobord. I think with this painting surface you either

have to be very bold with your paintbrush or

very delicate. Inbetween doesn't work very well.

I do really like the fact that it is an archival product

that is ready to go should someone decide they want it.

Happy Valentines Day a little over a month early!

Day 50!

Grape Study

Oil on Canvas

5 x 7

 

I have to say this is the first time I have made an effort to

really study how light effects grapes. I can now see

why they are painted so often. They are fascinating

to look closely at. The normal rules of shading don't apply here,

I'm guessing due to their transparency. Grab a grape the

next chance you get. Notice which part is lighter and which part darker.

Which part is a warm green and which part is a cool green.

It might surprise you.
