Again, using a lot of oranges and reds and yellows in the combination of colors.
After adding the background in with Lamp Black (and getting a bit messy at the edges of the box), I played with getting more dimension to the ribbon but it's not as good as the first one.
Another 8" x 10" on Fabriano 140# hotpress watercolor paper.
I'm starting to want to open these...
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting to see the difference putting a dark background made to your painting, the red and yellow became much bright. The first one is more delicate and I was going to say stop it looks beautiful as it is, then I scrolled down to see you had carried on! Beautifully drawn and painted the shape of the box is really nice.
ReplyDeleteTeresa, you'll just have to imagine what's inside :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Caroline, for stopping by and commenting. I maybe should have just put the box on a table and not done the whole background, but it looked a bit bare just sitting there without some grounding.
Ah but the magic box looks like it's tempting us to open it.... just out of reach :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam. I guess you could say it's a magic box and that's why it looks like it's floating!! Good idea! ha ha
