AfterChardin

Done as part of a class in classical painting (i.e., on gessoed board, with hand ground paints and Maroger medium). Lots of glazing and scumbles over a burnt umber tonal under painting. I like direct painting better. Anyway, Chardin is a great resource for getting ideas for still life arrangements. Michael's excellent painting inspired me to post this.

Comment by Betsy Jenkins on August 29, 2013 at 5:45: P.S The background is pretty much a warm green earth color. The blue is glare from this very cloudy day.
