NEW WIP PHOTOS/EDITS
At this stage, the painting is still "cool" in temperature. I intend to warm it with glazes in the next layer. Lots of things to fix. Still struggling with my photography; however, I think the problem is in the photo editing software.
re: OIL STUDY - On Praising the Egg - WIP 1 - 8x10 canvas board
(REF Previous Post: "Laws of Fresole" - art is praise.)
This is the first layer. It will be sanded down after it dries. On the next layer I will try to follow some advice I got on Cennini Forum.
WHY PAINT AN EGG STILL LIFE?
I am attempting to praise the egg. (REF Previous Post: "Laws of Fresole" - art is praise.)
My goal is to show the loveliness of those shades of yellow which is surrounded with soft and subtle colors of white and texture. I'm trying to make that feeling you have every time an egg is cracked open ... it is so lovely to the eyes you want to touch it. A little egg -- encasing the potential for a living creature; this little egg is such a necessary ingredient to bolster the taste and texture of food. It gives us so much pleasure -- don't we all "eat to live and live to eat" --- the humble little egg.
NEW SILVERPOINT WIP PHOTO - re: A Silverpoint Egg Study (8 x 10 gesso hardboard)
WHAT IS SILVERPOINT?
A silver rod is substituted for a pencil lead .... and thus silver is deposited on the surface instead of lead or graphite. The silver marks will tarnish in time, and darken to a nice patina . . . this Work-In-Progress (WIP) ....still working on it.
PHOTO SET UP
Stay tuned.
