Shep's new Still Life still needs a title

        No comments   

I've been calling this painting "Flowers and Jelly Beans" but that doesn't really work.  This 28" x 20" painting is coming along nicely and I've discovered I really enjoy painting jelly beans.  I'm still in a kind of dead color stage.  In this stage I normally wouldn't use any yellow where I'm actually using three yellows, Light Ochre, Cadmium, and Lemon.  But I still plan to glaze with an earth green and go from there.  I'm pretty sure that even after I've basically finished the painting, I will glaze in spots to add depth and shadow.

OK, give me some names.

My photo
My name is Bob Shepherd, but when I paint I'm known as "Shep". I love to paint people. Happy people. Sad people. People dancing. People in contemplation. Old people. Young people. Lately I've gotten into painting new things and I'm enjoying the challenge. Flowers and still life's have been fun. My blog is here to show you what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. If I'm doing your commission you can follow the progress of your "PortraitbyShep". If you'd like me to do your portrait please notify me through the blog. Please enter your email above and I hope you enjoy the blog. Shep
