I had painted a Guinness glass + tin whistle earlier in the week so I thought I'd try and do a Guinness glass in pastels and practice my eclipses .....
I will show both ....
Here we have a group of friends, painting one picture a day, encouraging, and challenging each other, and having fun! We breath, we create!
I'm thirsty now, Anne. lol I think you're right about your elipses being off, though. Not so much in the first one, but more so in the second.
ReplyDelete~steps away to grab a drink~ :)
Looks refreshing and cold...like the way you did the glass.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize both were in the same post. I like the top one a lot also. Great work on the glass in that one also.
ReplyDeleteI love how you painted the rim in the second one. No, ellipses are not easy, I struggle with them too, all the time. You just have to make your points, or you are going to be flat out getting it right.
ReplyDeleteDo a practice on scrap paper, it is important that we learn to get this right, as ellipses are in pretty much everything we paint..
Go read the link I posted down there, it is a link to the Drawing classes in the d&s forum. Class 4 I think it is Ellipses, draw a slinky..
It really is work investing some quality time, say half a day, to drawing ellipses, over and over again, work through that class..
