Another attempt at a monochromatic painting.

Paint over the first attempt. |

First attempt: yuck!

Step one
OK, I cheated. I really had a hard time using just one color, it was boring so I took the liberty of using only cad. red but used white, blue and yellow to jazz up the cad. red.
Next I tried to soften the edge on the back strawberry and added oil pastel over the acrylic for a punch.
Used warm/cool temperature changes to the white background and added a gradation to the shadow area.
Final Product:
I thought the shadow was a bit intense so I softened it but I prefer step one which tells me that I should stop way before I feel it is done.
Lesson learned~!
PS. I used a free photo from Morguefile.com so I could concentrate on the lesson and not finding a subject to paint. |
