Cup for Two

Cup for Two  6" x 6" oil on board

I really enjoy playing with the light and dark patterns of
these small daily paintings.
I'm posting another step by step shown below.



Process:

Set up the still life with patterns and colors I like:

Make a drawing of the light dark patterns and how the canvas board will be divided.
Decide what the dominant value will be:



Start with the cherries inside the cup and then begin to paint the
cup inside the pattern cloth.


Add the dark patterns on the cloth:

Put in the background, all the lights and the stems are the final touch:

  4. Hi Julie, Thanks for taking the time to comment again! I did get your feedback on the one before- Two on the Side. They are pretty similar! I was sort of on a red, yellow and blue roll. I made a short video that I'm trying to figure out how to post! More of these will follow!
