Cherries Squared - Day 11

12" x 12" Oil on Canvas
SOLD
The challenge today was to paint RED! How many reds in the paint world are there!
Well I think a lot!!!!! I had at least 6 tubes out ........the transparent  of the skin was
the hardest to get.....I love the yummy reds against the cools of the table cloth.  I added
a little light green, but it didn't show up in the photograph.  This painting is much better
than the picture.... you can't see the impressionist colors juxtapose together.  
Anyone doing the challenge can't help but get better......what fun!  Thanks Leslie!

10 x 8 Oil on Canvas Board Last year I was lucky enough to see a demo by David Leffel. I am total hooked on Chiaroscuro Style painting. "Chiaroscuro" literally means light/dark. In Chiaroscuro painting, your eye follows the light. The light gives the picture its flow-it takes the eye from one place to another, and the shadows structure the painting. Quoted from Oil Painting Secrets from a Master, by Linda Cateura.
