Copper Pot Painting

Copper Pot, oil on canvas, 11 x 14 inches, Jim Serrett I really wanted to interpret the light effect (chiaroscuro) and interesting relationship within those restrained colors and neutral tones, which I feel read well. I believe the scumbling technique worked wonderfully, but think the halftones transition into shadow could be resolved further. An area that I can learn to improve with practice, the success of this work or any is always the knowledge and experience I gain. I have begun to see glazing as a much broader and dynamic process, and the subtle and unique difference in the optical effect of glazing, veluatra and scumbling. But one has to realize as they practice these methods, that the masters approached a painting with a tool box full of techniques, they combined them, modified them and manipulated them at will, like a conductor leading an orchestra. These were not tricks or gimmicks like you find in “how to” books on painting but an instrument they used to interpret form so they could concentrate on the bigger idea, what they were saying with their art. They understood the language of their craft before they spoke. This piece is framed, it is on a 11 x 14 inches (30 x 36 cm) professional / archival canvas. The wood frame dimensions are 17 x 20 inches (43 x 51 cm) If you have any questions, please send me a convo, I'm happy to hear from you. Thanks for looking!
