This is another study of the same plums as before but sitting on another surface - a dark blackish-blue granite counter. The light was coming in from two different sources which provided many challenges and an interesting painting. I hope you like it. Thanks for taking a look! Below are the different stages of "Plumful No. 2".
"Plumful No. 2" the finished product and will go for sale on Daily PaintWorks tomorrow!
This is the first stage of how I usually work - painting a grisaille on a gessoed panel! This helps me to define the values of the painting (the lights and darks) I used a mixture of burnt umber and a little quinacridone burnt orange (try spelling this one on your own without looking it up - of course I had to look up). Applying an under-painting gives the painting a little punch in the end! This is my favorite stage as it goes real fast and is fun!!
Here, I am adding the lights and darks with color.
Starting to refine the color even more.
Final Product! Even though the painting doesn't quite look centered - I did it on purpose to allow a view of the reflection on the granite counter top. If you are reading this, thank you so much for looking at my artwork and blog. God Bless!
