Untitled Still Life

Untitled Still Life
oil on canvas

January/February 2014



This project was the first of my level 2 painting class. We had to paint this mostly red and green still life to teach us to mix, neutralize, and vary the 2 basic colors in it. I really wanted to paint the lady sculpture, so I squeezed myself in between some very accomodating people. It was funny; all the females in the class chose this subject and painted on the same side of the room. lol
I don't care for doing still life work, but I tried to experiment a bit on the basis of feedback from last semester. I do like how the red fabric turned out. As far as my attempts to mute my colors went, I failed miserably. I guess my subconscious really likes bright colors!

Gentle critiques welcome!
