Medium: Oil Paints Size: 8x10
This was my very first painting during my first oil painting class at the Carnegie Museum of Art. It's a green monochromatic still life. Monochromatic is the use of a single color with the addition of white and/or black. In this instance, I did not use any black, the darkest of the colors is the just the pure, out of the tube color. I believe that the color I used was Viridian Green.
This class was an introduction to painting class and many of the other students had never painted before.....so what did the teacher do? She put up a striped ceramic cup, a striped background and an old-styled metalic, reflective tea-pot/pitcher. I can definitely say that many of us struggled with the stripes. What a pain, I used that striped container in another painting and decided after that that I would never include a striped subject matter ever again.
