Daily Painting Practice - Blue Bowl
I don't have any progress photos today. I just jumped in and painted away. This study had an interesting problem to try and solve. How do you soften a hard edged object without making it appear to fluffy or too rigid? I am still learning the lesson of when and how to use soft and hard edges or as some people call them lost and found edges. Thanks to (Vivienne St.Clair) for introducing me to the work of (Pam Ingalls).She is one of my new favorite artists to study. I like how she gets hard edged reflections but breaks up the edges of the objects with color.
There is only one thing to do...back to the easel for me and more daily painting practice!
