Bottle and Blue Plate No. 2

Painting a day: Bottle and Blue Plate No. 2


"Bottle and Blue Plate No. 2"
Oil on panel, 10 x 5 inches


With this painting I'm coming back to a theme I've painted before, that of a bottle in front of a plate, both set up against gold cloth. There's just something about these old bottles that I keep coming back to...

Amazing! But impossible to exceed your skills:)

Beautiful!! Along with the obvious skill and realistic edge I really love the color combination. It just jumps out yet in a sublte way.

Jeff: Great painting! I particularly love the gold brocade. What colors do you use to get the gold fabric?

Jeff Hayes said...

Thanks Rudhi - I assure you it is very possible

Thanks Mary!

Thanks Mary B. - Actually I don't precisely remember, but it was likely a combination of cadmiums & earth yellows, probably tempered with some umbers
