Still Lifes with Metal Containers, each 6 x 6These are more small sketches from still life set-ups I did for my class. The challenge was to paint the metal vessels so that they actually look metallic. Our brains totally freak with the idea of "shiny." We have to over-ride that to just paint what is there... mostly muted passages with just a few spots of "shine." And it's tricky!

Really cool... love your colours... your composition... your backgrounds... really cool
Beautiful... Your class sounds very interesting. Wish I could join you. In the meantime, it's nice to "watch".
You guys are so encouraging - it's so fun to have little snippets into each other's worlds! Thanks to all of you.
Hi, These are fun paintings and what a fun exercise of painting metal surfaces!
