Ginger Jar & Roses

Ginger Jar & Roses
9 x 12
Oil Painting by Pat Fiorello

This painting was another demonstration I did at my recent workshop "Painting Flowers Ala Prima in Oil".  My students were surprised how dark I started out the ginger jar to get form, light & shadow, but in the end it still appeared as a white jar.

If you're interested in learning to paint flowers in oil in an easy, fresh manner, I'll be teaching another workshop at the Atlanta Artists Center on the weekend of September 22 & 23. I use an approach with a transparent color block in that allow colors to stay clean, bright and not get muddy, before finishing off with more opaque colors.
