Studies in Smallness Paintings and Reflection





These are my two finished paintings. I struggled with making shadows and highlights because I got mixed up with combining complements of the object's color and the paper's color. At times I could not effectively create the shadow or highlight I wanted. However, I am happy with my pepper painting because I was able to incorporate the highlights and shadows well and make the pepper look 3D and realistic.

i like the highlights on the pepper although the backround is a little thin and does not quite portray the differece in colors of the paper. keep working!
