Now that the weather has turned windy, wet and cold I decided to do a study of what ever I could find interesting in my kitchen. I tried to keep my brushstrokes loose and still capture the feel of an onion. I found onions are not easy to paint but I will be looking forward to trying another. I used a limited palette of Cadmium Yellow Light, Alizarin Crimson, and Ultramarine Blue with a touch a Viridian plus Titanium White.
I love the looseness of this little onion. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteCarol, great study, colors and brushstrokes are lovely, great composition too!I especially love how the light hits the onion and that bit of blue on the underside.
ReplyDeleteLovely onion painting, you have made a work of art out of a humble onion!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful... even with such a still life that would make you cry !
ReplyDeleteOutstanding! That little peak of the green flesh is enough to make my eyes water.
