Painting a vivid orange and getting lost in the segments late on a wednesday evening. Anna Mason's tutorials stress that painting any object is always about the balance between the light, dark and mid tones. As I step back and look at the pic I can see more work to be done on the balance of these tones. Lots of quiet and very detailed fun while painting an orange of all things.
Have a lovely woyww.
loving that orange colour - i must get back to my painting thing one day! - never enough time in the day, shaz m #26
ReplyDeleteWow - an orange so whats not to love. You have some nice watercolour pand there. My favourite when I was little and the kids paint tins had the name underneath the colour was gamboge - I tend to be a bit more orange theses days. Have fun it's going really well x Jackie 22
ReplyDeleteJust fabulous - it really does look good enough to eat! Thanks for the visit, have a good week,

Beautiful! I can almost taste it! I love the two halves side by side! It would make a great pattern if you were to digitalize it! zsuzsa #32
ReplyDeleteI have just had some grapefruit segments but now I am feeling like I need an orange after seeing your painting. Your work is so realistic.

ReplyDeleteI've had a really busy day with sewing and avoiding the wet paint and am just catching up with some of my blogging friends.
ReplyDeleteYour orange looks good from here but I just know you will get it perfect before you finish :-)

Lost in the segments..that is a good place to be if you ask me! I'm not sure how you can tell about the tonal work, I guess it comes from the lessons. It is already, t me, absolutely fab. Quite a therapy this painting, hey?
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous and I can see why you enjoy doing it, the results are brilliant. Wishing you a great week and a happy woyww, Angela x 24

ReplyDeleteHi Sandra, thanks for swinging by my blog, sorry for the late visit. Lots of people have commented about discipline being required to work from home. I agree! You learn over time to be more structured. I love your orange, I wish I could paint or draw..seeing your orange makes me want to learn. Cx #53
