When I first started the daily painting I hadn't really done still lifes before and two elemements I found the hardest were composition and shadows. Today I enjoyed painting the shadows, seeing lots of colours and reflected light from the peppers.
Before I start to paint I use my viewfinder to look for an interesting compostion. Here is a photograph of what I could see...I muted the yellow background a little as it was too bright and overpowered the little peppers.
Another fruit/veggie one to admire. Seeing how you use the viewfinder was interesting and the subtle difference of shadow as it leaves the white paper and touches the yellow one - spot on!
