I put the melon on tin foil and was pleased with the reflection it created of the skin.
Painting it I was aiming for the translucency at the top and richness of the red, fun to paint and will have another go.
The photo below is of me over the weekend painting in between visitors but didn't get much done so it was abandoned. I'm not complaining about having people come and visit as the Open Studio is going well :-) Making sales each day we are open and meeting some new arty people especially in the local area which is really great.
Very lovely, the translucency works perfectly. Well done on the sales!!
ReplyDeleteLove the way the colours in the skin are reflected in the tin foil. The flesh and seeds are beautifully portrayed. I like the tin foil effect - would be a great way to paint in a heatwave, just looking at it would cool you down.
ReplyDeleteLovely melon Clare - well done!
