11″ x 14″, Acrylic on Canvas
Still life is one of the greatest pillars of classical art. I painted an old tea kettle in this style in hopes of portraying its quaint antiqueness. Using acrylic paint in only the primary colors, I attempted to emulate the rich colors of reflections in the copper and the green-blue of verdigris. I also aimed to capture the luster of the ribbons and orange. This study of light on different objects was both a learning experience and a pleasure.
