WDE 11th July 08 Still life on wood "WIP"
Hi all:
This one is on my wooden box where I store my acrylic paints. I found that the paint once dry looked dull. I started aplying soft pastels on top and liked the effect. It's no where near complete and I'm struggling because I've never been able to convey metal and I'm really bad at perspective and ellipses  but what the heck each time I'm pushing myself more.
I'm sorry the scan is chopped I've lost my sim card for my camera and the box is too big for my scanner, the nasty edges are only masking tape I put there to guide me. I'll see how I go, being pastels might be difficult to keep. I'll apply fixative and I'll see how I go from there.
Thanks for looking as always.   |

Your coloring on those canisters is beautiful. I hope you'll share the finished painting with us.

To me, it seems that the character of the wood may have its own hopes and dreams, and makes your work on the surface unique and special. You've been imaginative in pulling the art from the tools and materials, and sometimes must yield to them as well.
Oh, and I'm certainly seeing a metallic sheen on the cannisters!

Very well done. Your elipses are fine and the copper glimmers. Looks done to me. Lovely.

I likes this picture when I saw it but thought the brass may be hard to do, but you got it. I really like what you have done. Mary

Hi Sandy!
Personally, I think you've achieved well the look and shine of copper! What a great idea to use your paint box to paint on! I kind of like the little bit of different texture the wood has given your painting. It is unique!!!! I think you've done a great job with this reference; I was so hoping someone would choose it - Thank you!  
Elizabeth

I like it and the idea of pastels with acylics sounds great. I like the look of the copper.
