still life

We are doing still life paintings and drawings using light and shade in the style of Caravaggio in our art group at the moment. This week we had to set up a still life at home, take a photo of it and copy it in class. I was reasonably pleased with this photo - the same can not be said for the art I produced!

Sorry I haven't been around much. Hardly taken any photos in the last three weeks - just got too many balls to keep in the air at the moment and my camera is being neglected as a result.

Jan, love this - great textures - love garlic too!

[Pat Knowles]

I played about with an onion yesterday but nothing so good as this Jan....might post mine in a minute even though I discarded it yesterday .. Fantastic texture & shades of skins! Just caught sight of above comment & of course they are garlic bulbs!!

[Maggiemae]

I like the colours you've got in the garlic and the whole composition, the way you have put it together!

[Decima F]

Like the textured surface you've chosen as background, as well as the overall composition.

[Helene]

brillant! the light & textures are fabulous

[Padlock]

I think that is brilliant. Could you not concert this to a canvas picture using an app or photoshop. Job done then. Hope you are smiling.
