Actually, I drink my coffee black. I just liked the way this chrome cream pitcher looked. :)
This painting was actually frustrating for me, and I'm still not happy with certain sections of it. I had trouble getting the "turquoise" color that I wanted. Then, I muddied it up; then, I scraped some paint off; then, I over-worked it, and finally, I repeated the steps above. I've been trying to get my daily paintings finished in 1-1 1/2 hours. This one took almost 4! (Including the time pacing around, looking at it across the room with one eye closed, texting with my niece, and just generally keeping distracted from the corner I was painting myself into!)
For my next trick, I'm going to do some quick 10 minute paintings of something easy! :)
P.S. You can see from below that I didn't have the drawing right before I started painting! Lesson learned: Don't get too excited to jump into painting, and ignore your drawing. Bad drawing = bad painting!
^ The reference shot through my view finder. So far, so good.
< The bad sketch, I should've stayed at this step.
>The uncorrected drawing stayed true as I began the painting.
