Teacups and clementines
8''x8'', oil on gessoboard
I’m trying desperately to push those dark shadows without losing site of the subject. I have recently acquired a ”north light” filter, to fit to my worklamp, from Qiang Huang, a great daily painter and will be trying that out next. Once spring starts filtering through I shall want to lighten things up no doubt. I think this may look a little darker than the painting actually is – but not much.
Gives a whole new meaning to the dark arts!
