Acrylic, 8X10"Another I was working on, just to show I do know how to paint better than that horrible wc thing I just did this afternoon.
I really need to learn how to paint glass. Anybody good at it in acrylics or oil?

Hey Bruce.. You sure do have a thing for fruit hahahaha.
ReplyDeleteYou need to straighten the sides of your glassware, and work on those elcipses. Looks pretty good to me though, good for your for painting. I still haven't gotten my brushes wet today, life is just getting in the darn way. ...
Life ALWAYS gets in the way of art, always.....
ReplyDeleteWhen I moved North for the love of a good woman (my wife) I had to get a job and work a lot of hours until I got sick, unable to do any painting for nearly five years. It wasn't until I got sick that I was able to paint. Some tradeoff...
Yeah I know Bruce, unfortunately that happens to so many people. Most of the people on Wet Canvas have illness of some kind. I would say 98% of them. Ranging from physical disabilities to mental health issues. Take heart. You were meant to slow down and paint my friend. x
ReplyDeleteWOW! ....Bruce that small picture in the blog look just like a photograph! Wonderful!
ReplyDeletegee thanks Anne (blush) I am trying harder and harder things all the time these days. I am glad to see that the results are believable.
ReplyDeleteJJ, you're too kind. I didn't know why so many of the same people were on the site so often, now I know. I guess I should have. After all, practicing art is almost a full-time endeavor.
I like this particular pic so much and I will paint it agian in the future. Because to me, the fruit looks like it is suspended by light, since the glass is on a black background and mainly lit from one side with a tiny amount of reflection on the right side.
I just love the starkness and drama of the pic. But first I need more experience before I tackle glass again.
I forgot to add that the apple and glass were added to the original photo. I set up the galsses in front of me in the art club and then added the apple from another photo.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are going to paint this picture again, as it deserves to be. I really do like it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep this painting in your box of maybes' and you can compare it when you repaint it in a couple of months..
Enjoy painting, that is what it is a all about. Fun!!!!!
