These oranges are the result of a challenge posted by that very skilled artist Carol Marine. The goal was to paint eight little studies using only ten minutes for each piece. I was hoping the results would be a lot looser, but you can't change the stripes on the old zebra over night. This was a great exercise, and I hope I learned something from it. Well I know I didn't have enough paint mixed, and did not have the paint thinned to flow more easily...two important factors I believe. That's what you get for not painting for over a month.oil on canvasboard
So many artist's seem to have taken up Carol's challenge and it must be a great learning exercise, must give it a go too.
ReplyDeleteJust when I wonder where you have been, you pop in with a winner. Can't tell you haven't been painting in over a month!
ReplyDeleteI love the total monochromatic look to these oranges, very nice. I loved this exercise and learned so very much, too.
ReplyDeleteI think these are wonderful little gems. This was a very cool challenge.
