Pears and Lace – July 22, 2008
. . . here is another casein painting. In order to try something a little different, this painting utilizes casein emulsion in some areas to get more of an “oil painting” look to the painting.
Since I thought the cup would be the hardest thing to do, I began with it, then the flower. I was worried about how to do the book pages, but they were actually easy – just used a flat brush and swiped it along in the direction of the pages using yellow ochre. Then I added an indication of the worn edges of the binding with raw sienna “smooshed” on. Last I added areas of shadows on the lace.
I’m very pleased with the start of the painting.

Looks great--beautiful pinks in the cup. And, as always, I think the way you paint lacework is phenomenal: you're a master at it!
