I bought these strawberries yesterday from the supermarket,they just looked so good I could'nt pass this opportunity up to paint them.This dish is something I picked up from a charity shop last winter but the pattern looked so difficult I put off using it.It proved quite a challenge but thats what you need sometimes,to keep pushing yourself.
Half the battle is won when you start out with a positive attitude, indeed the plate is challenging, but you did a lovely job on that, of course the strawberries look very juicy.. hope you are doing this series on a same size.. may be you can exhibit later..
ReplyDeleteThank you for your nice comments on my blog. I love this strawberry painting. All the colors work beautifully together. You did a great job with the plate and your brushwork is lovely. Keep using the nice, thick paint. Always helps for a nicer end product. Good luck with all. You decorate cakes? Cool.
ReplyDeleteAzra, my goodness I don't think could have pulled that pattern off! It came out perfect, really. The bright strawberries just add the right balance to the scene. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteOh, these strawberries look luscious, Azra! Your brushwork and colors on the plate are beautiful. Nice shadows also. Very lovely!
ReplyDeleteStrawberries look delicious, and I love the blue bowl. Nice painting, Azra.
ReplyDeleteThanks Padmaja,you're right about the positive attitude!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol,its something I have to keep reminding myself ..to use more paint.
Thanks Giselle,it was a choice between copying it exactly or an impression.It was more fun this way!
Thanks Linda,when I saw the strawberries they said to "paint us,paint us!"
Thanks Jean,they were delicious!
I loved all the colors in the painting. The color and the reflections on the fruits are great!
