Water Pitcher Oil Painting

I was feeling creative Saturday so I painted this water pitcher.  It is on canvas pad, one coat of gesso. I am trying to come up with still life compositions that use complimentary colors. I am also trying to get back in the swing of painting regularly.  My PTSD is really bothering me lately.  


I have another painting I am working on, just waithing for the first layer to tack up a little.  I don't want to make mud.  I hope to post it soon.

Maries 1919 oil paint Review

I bought the basic oil paint set from Temu.  The Maries 1919 basic set, it has the primaries and black and white.  Right off the bat I liked the thickness of the paint.  It also had a good pigment load.  The amout of paint per tube is very substantial. I have no complaints and will buy other colors.  For under $20 you cant beat it.


This was my first painting.  I was getting comfortable with the paint.


This was my next painting.
