Well, don't I sound happy this morning!!!! Well, I am!! Why?? No special reason!!!
I've mentioned this before but for the several new blog buddies that have joined our little group - did you know it takes less facial muscles to SMILE than to FROWN???
It is truth I speak - Soooooo be happy and smile my friends!
OK --- this morning I finished up the Pear that I started the other day. This is where we left off;
OK --- let's be clinical about this!!!! The lady in the fourth row - 3rd seat in from my left - No-No-No ----- I said my LEFT!!!! Sit down! OK - now we have the correct person!
I know you come to most of my demos, so let's see what you have learned!
What is left to do with this painting?
Let's give her a minute-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK you think the following needs to be completed:
BG - FG - Reflected shadows - tuning up the edges - perhaps some local color - fine tuning the color on the pear -
WELL - that in fact is pretty much it - you certainly have been paying attention!!
VERY GOOD!!
Now sit down and stop trying to steal my thunder!!! :<)
OK - lets do exactly what the lady in the 4th row - 3rd seat from my left indicated that we should do.
OK I deepened and brightened the colors and I added more indication of the light source coming from the left
A close up will show this better
OK - time for some BG and FG and shadows. I decided to give the FG & BG some texture with the application of thick juicy globs and blobs of paint. This tends to push the pear forward as the pear is smooth. It also gives a mix of textures to stimulate interest in the eye of the viewer. ( I hope )
This closeup will show the texture in the BG
OK it is time to wrap up this puppy. Only a few things left to do and I apologize but I can't show those things to you as they are secret!!!!! All painters take an oath not to divulge personal painting secrets as there are a lot of HUNGRY (STARVING) artists out there and they are not above STEALING secrets!!
