Milk Bottles Painting by Ollie Tuck

Painting: oil , oil paint, oil painting on Canvas.

This quirky take on a still life was inspired by wanting to capture all the different colours that make up white. I loved the idea of painting the creamy yellows next to dusty lilacs with the contrasting flashes of crimson in the milk lids.

Beyond the interest in the composition I also wanted to immortalise the milk bottles as I fear they will soon be extinct as very few households still rely on the milkman. I am keen to celebrate the milkman and the beauty of the milk bottles they provide.

The original artwork is oils painted on hard board.
