6" x 6" oil on canvas paper
I cut up the onion form the previous painting and cried all the way through. This painting was fun despite the tears. I did a tonal painting first with burnt sienna and then painted over it after it had dried a little. You can still see some of the under painting which was my goal or proof that I wasn't over fussing it. I also focused on integrating the negative space more. There is a bit of a compositional issue...unbalanced to the right and I still need to push the contrasts.
Thanks for the magenta Mardi!
Nice and immediate brushstrokes!
ReplyDeleteI like the shadows too...

I have been looking through your blog and it's a pleasure to look at your paintings. I like the way you model with wider colour plains and your pallette is always spot on. I chose to write next to this one as I like it,s abstract qualities.
ReplyDeleteI really like both this onion and the one before. This just has such a nice quality about it. Love the colors.
