Quick post tonight - crunch time for my upcoming show, so that's where my focus is at the moment.
This is a demo from a workshop I taught last month, another variation of choosing like colored objects and background as a way to visually achieve lost edges.
As I was setting up the demo, one of the guys in my class (you know who you are Dave :), asked "What are those little white things?" Needless to say, surrounded by 6 women, the stage was set for his downfall....

I'm guessing Dave doesn't do his own cooking...
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing you're right :)

ReplyDeleteGreat values, great lost edges.
ReplyDeleteNot only that, but they aren't white either! You can tell that by looking at your painting. I love all the color in it.
ReplyDeleteHA! Gotta love men. Once again another great lesson.Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. Coincidentally, I just painted garlic in a bowl and now I've had an "aha" moment looking at yours. Back to garlic and painting!
ReplyDeleteWonderful how you can make garlic look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLiz,
ReplyDelete...Dave was a good sport!lol This white on white was an excellent demo...learned a lot from watching how you handled the subject...so impressed with the final results! (Sold my first oil painting this weekend thanks to your great instruction!!)
the students watching here got a real show!this is super
ReplyDeleteThis is such a powerful piece. Love everything about it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your wonderful comments guys.
ReplyDeleteI often find workshop demos work well because I am focused on what I know rather than what I might not know...now why can't we just do that always?
I love this little gem. Such beautiful transitions. I love your landscape work and wander through often. Now I must say these little stills are touching my heart strings and creating a beautiful sound. Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteLiz this a magnificent piece! Wow! The subtle changes in colour and tone are beautiful. I find white challenging to paint, so I'll be looking at this frequently and in detail. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLiz, I just looked at your blog as I often do. I have to tell you that I LOVE the way you paint!! Simply beautiful. Have a great Christmas. Verna Korkie :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! So subtle and sensitive and love all the colors in your "whites!"
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, subtle colors. Love that touch of orange/gray on the white onion.
ReplyDeleteLove the edges and soft light in this, Liz. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMasterfully handled edges & values. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteJust incredible...the nuances...the lost and found..so masterfilly handled. Superb piece.
ReplyDeletevery nice Lizd. Love the whites and the shadow work
