Happy New Year!!
I actually found time during the holiday season to paint! This is one of the paintings I did.
To tell you the truth this is the second attempt at this one. The first one I just didn't get the handles right so I did some sketches to study the shapes and values, just trying to work it out, here are the sketches. Doing this exercise every once in a while is so valuable to learning how to see.
This new year is shaping up to be a great one. I have been asked to do some teaching which I am so looking forward to. I also am planning to paint and post a little bit more. Most likely going back to three time a week, as well as work on larger pieces. I have already got a good start on all of it.
I hope all of you have started the new year out well. Here's to keeping new resolutions or as I read some where, here's to rebelling against them, what ever works for you!

Love it, but what is mdf board?

MDF stands for medium density fiber board. I like it for a few reasons. Because it is quite a heavy board, my small 6x6"paintings feel like there is more to them. I use 3/4 inch thick board so the paintings can stand on their own with out a frame. It is also a really nice smooth surface to paint on. I need to take measures to make it achievable however because it is full of impurities.

I know there are online art suppliers who sell the boards already cut with hangers cut into the back. I may be changing to these soon.
Love the way you do shadows with tones of paint. The many shades of white in your tea cups and fabric create such a realistic yet painterly look. Nice work. Keep 'em coming Deltra.
