Chrome Teapot Study #2

Another large scale gallery painting underway and another study of the chrome teapot. I needed to see how this would look in neutral tones. It's my habit to always go for stronger contrast, but there was something calming about the color of my walls behind the teapot when I was taking photos the other week. Behr brand "Jasmine White" in case anyone was interested.

I think I'm in the mood for neutrals right now as my little desert home is making the transition from Summer to Fall. Of course that transition is marked by hissy fits and pouting, because just this weekend it was 104F again. Meanwhile, the rest of the Northern Hemisphere is pulling out its long sleeves and getting frost advisories. What? Me, bitter? No. Not at all. But last night it got down to 72F and the wind didn't feel like a hairdryer. For Las Vegas, that's progress.

I'm working on another larger teapot painting and needed to brush up my skills with chrome objects. Chrome picks up a lot of color and light that copper will overpower and alter. So painting chrome is always a different experience, more complicated I think. In this painting alone, a simple study, aside from the gray tones of the pot itself, I have sienna, blue, turquoise, lavender, green, orange and yellow. Quite the rainbow.
