My next project was started during my annual art retreat back in June. The subject is fiestaware (at least I think that's what it is) and the photo was taken during a visit to the local antique mall/outdoor show that occurs from May - October at the local antique fair. The simple arrangement and colors are what attracted me - so I decided early on that there will be no background.
The dinnerware was drawn onto a full sheet of Arches 300# w/c paper and then I began glazing the colors.
The first photo was taken after the painting was underway - apparently, once again, I forgot to take photos as I went along! Well, this time who can blame me - it was, after all, our annual art retreat so there was talking, laughter, show and tell, gift giving, eating and - oh yes - a little painting, too! In other words, I was too busy to "work"!
I began glazing the colors and you will note that the small bowl in the center, below the tan bowl, is cobalt teal. Remember this . . . .
Dear Deb - this is very colorful. The company that makes Fiesta Ware is very close to where I live - about 30 miles away in fact. Will be looking forward to seeing it finished. Have a great day. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteBold, bright colors on this one - can't wait to see that cobalt blue cup take shape :). I think you have another winner here.
ReplyDeleteWent over to see the GCWS show at The Barn yesterday (I'm a bad member but I still like to see the artwork people are making!)
