Hello there, have you ever wondered what's the best type of painting for the kitchen?
Still life is my answer. Usually fruit is the main subject, glasses with wine and bread. My first instinct was to paint a reproduction of a masterpiece from Manet or Monet even Picasso; but there was nothing I fell in love with.
So the search continued until google suggested 'still life photography'... clicked on it and voilà... the perfect picture. Composition, lighting, colors. The only challenge was the metallic kettle.
The very next day I bought a nice 16x20 inches canvas a couple of brushes and headed back home decided to finish the painting in one sitting. My plan? You guessed it. Impressionism.
I started painting the background then the kettle and at this point the fact of being an amateur artist showed right away, the painting slowly became realistic. Although I'm happy the painting took me 3 hours the first night and two nights later another 2 hours to finish; it was clear that I need some classes and fast.
