It is almost complete, just a few detail points to go. Today I spent 2 sessions working on my current still life on a Gallery wrapped canvas. The canvas is very much like my June still life, which was on a small-medium canvas, with deep or “gallery” painted sides, and can be displayed on the wall with a neat look without a frame.
I had some realism understanding by looking at classic still life paintings after I’d already had an idea and began this one. I had also set up the real main subject at one point on my own table, and I kept a simplified version in the painting in progress.
I worked steadily both sessions, the second session much more decisive, as I built upon what was there, sure to set up my supplies fully at my kitchen table, air flow great with window open on other side and ceiling fan. I worked before lunch and now just after lunch.
I was deciding on a third main subject, but there are actually two main subjects and a room with depth and background, an imaginary room.
It needs nothing more added, but just defining detail of what’s there, which means I will use a little amount of paint on small, detail paint brushes, and dipped in a little water, for the two main subjects, and a wider coarser brush for a background subject.
I was going to take some kind of portrait photo, while keeping the painting covered or secret until complete, but I really just want it in the room, as even a secret photo shoot at this time could distract me from this pleasant scene I am very drawn too, especially the mood that I’d built very naturally…and I am looking forward to showing you the finished result.
