This morning, I'm leaning towards the one with the white pitcher.<BR/><BR/>And white really is fun to paint? I think it would be hard to figure out how to--without it just being flat.divatobehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06095147565213985782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099199985140309361.post-61244359272006471192008-03-19T16:22:00.000-07:002008-03-19T16:22:00.000-07:00Hi Cheryl,<BR/>You are certainly making good use of those grapes I'm trying to decide whether I like todays subtle shadows better than yesterdays more punchy ones. They both are good in different ways. Shadows I find are difficult I tend not to make them dark enough, though squinting helps. I have been looking at Carole Marines blog and she paints her shadows very dramatically for the most part, I wish I could paint like her..<BR/>Happy painting<BR/>DianaA Painting A Day by Diana Marshallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12193006545310900940noreply@blogger.com
