White Tureen

This is for #7 of the Daily Paintworks Challenges. The idea was to paint a white object on a multicolored background using only primary and secondary colors, no black and no earth colors.

I chose this antique white tureen.

Lincoln

This is #6 of the Daily Paint Works Challenges. I am trying to incorporate everything that I have gleaned from this and others of these challenges, as well as the Peggi Kroll Roberts DVD's that I bought. Whew! It is like learning how to ride a horse: sit up straight, keep your heels down, knees on the saddle, don't flap your arms, don't lean forward. You get one thing right, and everything else is forgotten! To get everything into blissful harmony is my goal!

These challenges are invaluable, and I am so grateful for them.

Brass Teapot

Challenge #4 from Daily Paintworks Challenge, and this one was hard and really took a lot of concentration, in that we were to mix new colors for each brush stroke. I cheated a bit, but I pretty much followed it, and used larger brushes, and I feel like I really accomplished something - to be quite a lot less fussy. It is so easy to over paint, and not know when to stop.
Also, I haven't done very many still lifes, and I have been meaning to paint this teapot for a long time!
I like this. I think it has vitality.  This is such a valuable lesson, and it will become part of the way I paint. Thank you Carol Marine!
