Reflective Objects


Small Demo of Silver Cup

I'm a little paranoid about posting this class demo after my husband looked at it and just shrugged his shoulders. I tell my students NOT to show their art work to their spouses! Also, I tell them we aren't after perfection. So here it is.

The class did a great job with the reflective objects ~ glass, silver, white porcelain, etc. Everyone was really paying attention to the details. It is one of those "paint what you see and paint it boldly" things.

I'm into my nesting mode now. It happens every fall. I think most people have it. I always just hope it last long enough to get a few house projects finished ~ like maybe dusting!

Oh!...the beautiful colors that shine in your cup! I just had to tell you that it cheers me up,just looking at it. Makes me want to get my paints out...a brush...and see if MY CUP has as pretty colors as yours. Happy painting!...

I'm in total agreement with BJR. Your silver cup inspires me to pull out the baby cup, polish it and really, really look at it.

The shape will be evident, but seeing the reflections can be very tricky. Thank you again for your wonderful inpiration and for keeping this blog alive and well.

Marj, BJR, and Marpia, Thanks! I feel better about posting it now :0)

The most important thing about doing a silver cup is what you set it on. If the surface is too plain - you get nuthin'. If it's too complicated - well, it's too complicated.
