Re: bottle and onion

I think your painting is very nice. Love the monochrome and the mood created. In the photo, I see that the textured surface competes with the painting a bit.

Re: bottle and onion

Thank you Derek,

So you mean that the texture is to heavy!?

I experiment with texture with different result, I want to create a kind of impressionism....

Daniel.

Re: bottle and onion

Nice painting! I think the texture works for me. Gives me the sense of viewing the painting through the eyes of a second person, fleeting almost. I like it

Re: bottle and onion

Daniel, I like this a lot...The texture gives the effect of looking through a textured voile...I think it adds interest rather than detracts from the painting...equally - the painting would still work without the texture!

Re: bottle and onion

When I look at the painting, the first thing I see is the texture, and in the second place the painted surface.

I think the texture is too distractive. It leads you away from the real painting, which is very good I believe.

When you create texture as a background to paint on, it should be more modest, more equal, without too exaggerating parts. Because its those parts which will have a distracting effect when viewing the painting.

It would be a different story when you should have created the texture during the actual painting (and not only as a surface to paint on).

Now your texture works as a global veil over the total painting (in fact it's the opposite because it is your painting which is like a veil over the textured surface).
When you create texture during painting, the texture makes part of the actual painting (and would also be more natural).
Hope you know what I mean.

Of course, I think it s also the way you shot your photo, because in reality your textured background is probably less present in surrounding daylight.

Anyway, exploring things is always a good thing. And this is only my opinion on a textured background. As said, your painting is very good.

Re: bottle and onion

Thank you for all your comments.

Mark, I like your approach to differentiate texture of painting and texture pattern to those who belong to the painting itself.

Thank you all.
