"Black Plums 2"
8 x 10 in
Oil on Canvas Panel
I wanted to continue the marble series with another painting of these beautiful plums, especially painting marble practice makes perfect. I noticed with painting plums you have to be very delicate with each transition of tones, which is stark contrast with marble. Marble has so much texture their are subtle value shifts but for the most part its rough with impasto strokes. I always start with the marble section first it requires so much attention, it takes so long to get the subtle and rough strokes working right with each other. I suggest anybody who wants a great challenge on how to paint textures with so many properties should paint marble.
I wanted to remind everyone again that I will be giving a live demo at the Uptown Art Fair, it'll be on August 5 from 1-5 p.m. It'll be great to see you guys there! I will also be teaching a still life and figure drawing workshops at the Bloomington Art Center, if anyone's interested you can now sign up for the classes. Click here to see sign up!
