| "The Great Pumpkin", 8 by 10 inch acrylic on canvas © Maria Reichert 2011 |
This was the painting exercise from the daily paintworks challenge, the goal was to paint with adjacent rectangles, each one being a new color. Goal is to work on value and color. Harder than I thought and my rectangles became triangles and blobs as I proceeded! Maybe round pumpkins were not my best choice of subjects. But fun, got my hands all full of paint!
What's next!?
I love the colors in this! The shadows and highlights are perfect.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty, Maria - love the colors. And thank you for the comment on my tractor.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a lot of fun on this one! It turned out great, too!
ReplyDeleteI love this Maria, this is so bold and wonderful. Did you do it fast.?? Do some more of these! Take care,Diana
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was so much fun to work on, not worried about results just values! Diana I did paint it quickly, I will try some more, still figuring out how to make those acrylics do what I tell them to.....
ReplyDeleteWow! Love this one Maria! So not only are you awesome at watercolor, but acrylic as well! Great painting! Love the bold colors!
