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 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....
