"Peppers & Vase"
5 x 7 in
Oil on Canvas Panel
I've been wanting to paint this small little vase for such a long time, a friend of mine lend me it to paint and finally was able to. These strong colors contrast each other so well, the cadmium oranges can be overpowering at times. This vase is asian themed, the intricate designs which resemble a floral pattern was so much fun to paint. As mentioned before the cadmium oranges can be overpowering, painting the peppers and keeping subtle value shifts within the oranges was a fun challenge overall. The composition was also another neat factor to do, I wanted to keep it simple and yet fun.
Just a reminder I'll be giving a portrait painting demo at Blick Art Materials store in Edina, MN. on Wednesday the 27th of April from 1-4pm. If your around the area stop on by! Here's the link to find out more info.
