Description
This hand painted fine art piece features a pineapple, taking center stage in a still life. It is painted in a loose, impressionist manner. Main colors are blue, yellow, red, and green.
..........................................
Much of the work of creating a still life occurs before the brush is lifted. First, I decide where the setup will be, paying attention to the light source and often using large objects to channel or block some of the light. I usually arrange the fruit into several different positions, finally settling on one arrangement.In this case, there is only one fruit, so the setup is simpler. Sometimes I draw the objects or fruit with a pen or pencil before painting. Other times, I just head straight for the paint brush.
..................................................
The hardest part is sitting there and letting perfectly good fruit slowly get overripe while I paint it. I prefer to paint still life from, well, life. Sometimes I use photos, but there is nothing like looking at the real thing and painting it as it sits in front of you.
