Still life with Complementary Colours
I chose a YSL Orange leather bag with a gold chain and dangles. Sitting on top of a plastic blue bag. I kept the background white but used a texture for the bottom to allow easier viewing. I sketched the image prior to painting. I enjoyed the process of creating a line image as I was able to see shape and assess scale. I loosley drew the creases of the blue plastic bag, focusing on where I would but the dark(shadow) tones. I know that painting this bag will be difficult so want to focus on finding the right blues in the colour test.
