June's
painting challenge
The original challenge |
The
painting challenge this month on “paintanddrawtogether “
was a photo of a metallic goblet with cherries.
I
tried it in watercolor and wasn't too pleased with my attempt mainly
because the background just didn't look right. So I made another
painting but this time in acrylic paints where I can paint heavy paint
and thought that would be better . When I had finished I didn't like
this one either very much. The goblet looked out of proportion. Maybe
I just didn't like the subject matter very much either although I
just LOVE cherries!!

fabulous one painted by the other artists. Visit and check them out.
So interesting to see the different approaches people use.
The water color one looks darker, and the cherries are placed better, but there are a lot of "haloes" around them.
