strawberry demo


Here is the demo I just finished for my friends on the Painting Friends Forum. We are having a little get-together in August in Florida and we are all really looking forward to the adventure. I'm going to do a crystal demo while there, and this little demo was so some of the ladies could practice on strawberries. I haven't posted the demo we're doing in Florida yet...but just let them in on the secret that there would be strawberries involved.

  3. Beautiful strawberries, and a lovely contrast with the white plate and the way the composition is set up. It's cheerful and full of life!

  4. Thanks, Katherine...as an artist who really does see and execute detail with your colored pencil work, you can probably understand how difficult it is NOT to put the detail in these berries...I wanted them to be loose in this one because I knew my plate would be loose. By the way...I love your paintings.

  7. Mollie, you paint the "bestest" reds. Love the glow and you make it look so easy, which I know it isn't.

    Look too yammy to keep them untouchable. Thank you for the lovely work!!
    Cheers, Sadami

  11. Thanks so much Pat, Christiane, Ann and Nil...I must tell you that they were marvelous when I devoured that little setup. Great perks we artists have in eating what we're painting. Thanks for stopping by.
