Still life, light painted plant and pot
I wanted to keep the three dimensional look of this set up while keeping it interesting. I blended two images to get what I wanted. This is close. It’s always good to know what you want before you start making your image, no matter what it is. What I learned from doing this excercise:
1. shiny surfaces are tricky – go easy on them
2. I need a much brighter light.
3. Black cat fur absorbs a lot of light. I need a really bright light for that project.
While I was doing this, I saw Mojo sleeping on the couch, which was an invitation to paint him as well, which I did…unsuccessfully. He didn’t like me waving the flashlight over him.
