I didn’t catch the blue someone gave you that you used??? I love this! Bought it at auction and so far mine is turning out so good. I will post it on Facebook. It so helps to be able to look at the master’s in person 🙂
Thank you
P.S. Love it when the pallet is bigger so I can see the genius mix. 🙂 So much to learn just watching you mix.
I can only ooze thanks
Thank you Both!!!
I love this painting and now going to attempt it. I finished watching all the videos on it and glad I did for the little changes you made. Im so into light and shadows lately. Is it possible to do a still life from a direct above looking down as if you were looking at your feet. I would love to look down on an interesting setup like a beautiful tablescape with tableware/food/fruit…not flowers…to capture light and shadows…not sure if this makes sense. Im trying to photograph something like this myself too.
We will have to see what we can do about still-lifes once we get a chance to catch up! Love the idea.
So pretty! I really want to learn to paint glass. You have several tutorials with glass objects. This will be a good one to try, because it is just the bottles with no stems inside, just a concentration on the bottles. (One thing at a time). I guess I should jump in with both feet/brushes. Thank you Ginger and Jon
Lovely painting but why not a clean pallet ? Another painting I can not do because of this palette.
All the free lessons on YouTube comes with clean pallet, here in the academy we do not get clean pallet, I do not understand this

TY Ginger I really love this too .. I may send in a question about pairing this with a painting of a photo I took when in France .. a blue bottle too, to get your opinion .. I guess I will send via PAC or a question !! TY Jon too appreciate your expertise as well
