Orange on Saki Cup


I most often like a dark nebulous background and concentrate on the object I want to paint and get the light I have in my head. But when you find a particularly funky piece of tile that just calls out to be painted, just go with it.

A little spotlight and angle adjustment to find an interesting shadow and poof a painting in waiting.
I was not happy with the color of the orange it just laid there with no life. So with a little daring and desperation a yellow glaze pulled all the underlying work together and just sang to me.
