It's no secret what this represents: the "all white" challenge! I did this one with my new favorite, the blue toned surface. I think I'll do it again with a warm under painting just for comparison- and maybe add an egg yolk. The beauty of the all white challenge is that it forces you to look at values really closely, because that's the only thing that defines the objects. While I was doing this painting I got a phone call, and while I was talking, I viewed the setup from a different angle that I found quite intriguing. I may try painting it from that angle too.
I LOVE this Layne!
ReplyDeleteWoot! This is a beauty, Layne! Really great values and composition.
ReplyDeleteI like the reflections on the white surfaces.
ReplyDeleteWell done Lane!
What a challenge! You did a wonderful job with all the values. It's a great painting!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Wow, this is my favorite so far. Love that it was painted on the blue ground and can see just tiny hints of that- so good Layne.
ReplyDeleteLove this Layne - and all whites are difficult without looking muddy.
ReplyDeleteFine job...
Gorgeous job with the whites.
ReplyDeleteTough to do all whites I'd imagine, and you've done it masterfully! Love your work, Layne.
ReplyDeleteNice and loose and wet looking.
ReplyDeletepainting white on white ain't so easy...this one sings.
