Crazy for Copper!
In this week's Friday class we are working on a still life that includes a copper bowl, so I thought I would share some thoughts on painting copper! Last Tomato , pastel 12x16" There are so many wonderful colors in copper. Most obviously red-orange, orange, red, pink, blue and blue-green. I used violet as well in this painting. Here is another one by Jeffrey Hayes - click here for his blog. What other colors do you see? Notice how the reflection of the white garlic is not white? Copper, unless it is highly polished is usually a low-luster metal. A copper object will usually have... blended shadows and highlights a full range of values, determined by the light source diffused or obscured reflections Hope you are having fun playing with your pastels!
