White on White

"White Cups"  Acrylic  8x8" (Sold)
Today I took a one day workshop on painting whites. There were several still life setups in the room to paint from, all white on white. I chose the cups. It is so fascinating to see all the various shades of subtle colored greys - they are actually there if you look for them, but elusive unless you keep comparing different parts of the setup while painting.

    I love the fact that you took a workshop!
    I love to learn and continue to learn. Seems the more I learn the more I can teach.
    Glad to hear, too many times I hear a workshop instructor say... oh, I've never taken a workshop....

    You do rock!!
