Miss Chick by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Miss Chick by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Again I felt compelled to paint the chick I got for Christmas. It just kinda screams paint me. 

I looked around my studio and saw a beautiful red apple. One my daughter brought me a couple of weeks ago.I got the knife and cut it up wanting to capture the fleshy part and seeds but to my surprise it was all brown inside so I did what any artist would do I changed it. Thanks for following or just simply taking time to look at my blog.

I received this little chicken and the vase for a Christmas gift. In fact I received several things

to use as still life items. I was ever so happy. Of course you will see them again.

I have had these angels for several years and have painted them a few times. If I changed anything about this painting it would be the cups I guess however I love the clear bottle and the soft shadows.

And Berries by Angela Sullivan

And Berries by Angela Sullivan

This is painted on a 12x24 gallery wrapped canvas. I really have a difficult time photographing

larger paintings. I don't know if it is because I am so familiar with taking pictures of small works or what. this is so much darker than it actually is. Any suggestions for photos would be appreciated. It seems that they are either too dark or end up with a glare. Don't forget to sign up for my newsletter which is jam packed full of useful info about painting. I also have been working on youtube videos of art instruction. I am sure they will only get better with time.

Those Berries by Angela Sullivan

 

Those Berries by Angela Sullivan

When I was a child there used to be these purple berries on long stems. They

grew straight and tall with balls of berries at little clusters protruding from the stems. I loved those

berries. They were beautiful. I thought I would paint some just because.

For Morning Coffee No longer available ( Art Demo In Oils)

 Ok! I am always intrigued by artist that post how to. Well this may not be how to but how I did it.
1. I start by toning my canvas. Any color will do but I usually use Burnt Sienna today however I used thinned Thalo Blue and white.

 2. Next I do a rough sketch with Burnt Umber thinned  #2 bright brush

 3. Add some shadowing and what will be my darks. Thalo blue and burnt umber with maybe a touch of Aliz Crimson

 4.Thalo blue and Aliz Chrimson for the dark purple flowers

 5. Touch of white to mixture for highlights on flowers. Sap green and cad yellow light for greens with Thalo blue for darks and of course Aliz Crimson

 6. rough in highlights on pot. White and ultramarine blue with raw umber

 7. Cad yellow light with burnt sienna for interest

 8. Using a #4 bright I scruff to soften shadows and lights on teapot

 9. Adding some darks back in for contrast I paint in the background with titanium white raw umber mixed with ultramarine blue.

 10.  I scruff into the green leaves and purple flowers in background also adding highlights to background vase

 11. Adding sharp highlights to teapot with titanium white and a touch of thalo blue

12. Finishing I add purple and green hints to teapot to tie them all in. I soften edges and leave some bright highlights and of course sign my name. I hope you have enjoyed this as posting a step by step demo is something I never really thought I would do. I so enjoy other artist demos that I figured I would give it a go. Hope your day is blessed and please oh please visit again soon. Would appreciate comments if you enjoyed this.

And Cherries Two

And Cherries Two

Two cherries sitting in the corner overshadowed by those red flowers. It 

does not matter tho because no one can steal the show from them.  You know

when some flamboyant woman tries to steal the show from a timid sweet kind

little lady. It just doesn't work. That kind of character can not be subdues by the flaming

attention seeking kind.
