Day 21
I got inspired to paint this yesterday! I'd been looking for something, and my eye fell on this. A dear friend sent it to me for Christmas, from Australia. According to the little note inside it, it's a vintage tibetan silver heart jewellry trinket box. Hmm. I thought it was pewter. But no matter, it painted up just lovely. I'm rather pleased with this painting. The box itself is only about two and a half inches across, but I wanted plenty of space for it to react with the red cloth I used as a back drop. Lots of nice juicy reflections.
Only four colours used: French Ultramarine, Burnt Sienna, Alizirin Crimson and of course, Titanium White. Brushes were: half inch Flat, Size 6 Filbert, and a very small round - a '0' I think.
Loved painting with such lush colours!
See you tomorrow

Beautiful painting! I love the rich colors!
Thank you, R. I had a lot of fun with this. All of that crimson and the reflections were kind of luscious to work with. :-)
Thanks for stopping by.
