30 Paintings in 30 Days - Day Two Eggs



I am intrigued at how something so easy is quite difficult.  I feel like I am back in art school learning some of the basics.  Halfway through this painting I realized that there were TWO shadows, not one.  It looked a bit better with one shadow, but I am committed to trying to paint what I see.

Using a very limited palette, Mars Black and Titanium White were two of the four colors used.  The other two were Cerulean Blue Deep and Quinacridone Magenta - all Open Golden Acrylics.  Generally, I do not like to use black or white to get my values, but I chickened out tonight.



This painting has a glare for which I apologize.
Another challenge will be to learn how to shoot my own work - 
not at night under artificial light.  
Next you'll hear me saying I need a new camera and light box.

  1. Eggs are hard to paint! What a challenge. Carol Marine even said today that unbroken eggs are very hard to paint. Cheers!
