I have a million teapots so why not paint them? This one is on an orange shelf unit and there were some nice shadows on it. The first painting is a quick sketch — I really like the teapot but nothing else. The second one is somewhat confusing, even when I was painting it. The third one I mapped out and added a water pitcher. I don’t like how the pitcher is painted, but I like the teapot and the shelf. Maybe I need to simplify the shadows more…
While I’m waiting for the teapots to dry, I paint this. Looks a little ominous right now. The tree isn’t painted, I just took the masking off. Mostly I’m just trying to stay warm and not think about the future of our country…
Those teapots are great! First, teapots' shapes make them automatically interesting. And the shadows on yours, plus the red shelving makes for a fine setup. My favorite teapot is the third, where the colors blend perfectly. I also like the glass shelf on the third one. I think the second one is confusing because the shelf isn't as prominent, so the teapot seems to be floating. The shadows seem most successful in the third one, probably because they cross more objects and interact with them. Or maybe it's the color...on the first two, the saturated blue makes it seem like a design element balancing the red shelving. It feels cubist. The interior is very promising. I like the way the colors of the exterior feel like sunlight trying to break through and interior feels like it's waiting for something.
ReplyDeleteI like the third teapot best also. And I have no problem with that pitcher, especially since it looks like it is full of tasty green Kool Aid.
ReplyDeleteInteresting idea. I see what you’re going for.
