“Squash and onion”
Lovely autumn weather. Rain and drizzle and rain and some dry spells in between. This means more time in the studio, playing and experimenting with still life. A genre which I like more and more.
This week I experimented with kitchen foil and a pomegranate, working on reflections, still Need more practice with it.
For the painting of the week, I have chosen a subject inspired by the soup I have cooked last weekend with squash. So, I found a small winter squash, variety “delica” and I set up a composition using the squash and a red onion.
Again, I worked with glazing layers of paint diluted with turpentine and undiluted paints for the final layer. I didn’t use any medium. Colours I have used: titanium white, ultramarine and cerulean blue, lemon yellow and cadmium yellow medium, alizarin crimson, transparent brown oxide and unbleached titanium.
So , here it is:
