Size Matters!

I was recently struck by the way early morning sunlight streamed  across our dining room table and lit up some tangerines in a small wicker basket. I was actually about to peel, and eat, a standard sized orange for breakfast, and I wondered if a still-life was brewing and delayed breakfast long enough to experiment. Image size is for a framed painting 14" X 10", using 300 lb Arches cold pressed, using W&N Artists quality paints. For a complete demo of how this painting was done click here. I've used the same technique in "Morning Coffee", a demo I did for the Wet Canvas Ontario meet in 2007..
