On Hold
For today's painting I decided to focus on a small 6x6" study of a single gerbera. Flowers are tricky because the variation in value can be quite subtle. I decided to change the lightbulb from a daylight bulb to just a regular lightbulb which has a softer light, which is better to illuminate flowers. Not sure if I can get away with another study of these fickle gerberas which have already started to droop since I bought them a couple of days ago. This one is still standing. Today's weather news: yesterdays snowmageddon storm has subsided, leaving a bright, sunny, snowy day, perfect for photographing paintings!
