Ceramic? Oops... to me it appears to be a golden bracelet. It's a fantastic contrast however, as well in color as in material/surface (stone, metal, terracotta). What color was the CP you painted on?
Fantastic textural contrasts!!! How in the world did you capture the differences in the different materials? It's really amazing - my guess is the necklace is a metal, the statue is clay and the background is stone. Am I close?
Thanks for noticing the contrasts..it is what I was after...the necklace is ceramics and brass, the statue is of clay and I set up the still life against some rocks in the back of of our caves. Ronell
Clay, ceramic, brass, and stone. Ronell, you painted four different materials, each with its own characteristics and textures. This shows remarkable skill. Bravo! :)
He's an interesting little chap. I like the colours and textures. Have you used some sort of resist e.g. wax on the left? But then that would be giving away your secrets!
I haven't given enough comment on this post..sorry for that!My mind is a bit fractered lately... Yes, Carole, I first layed one wash, let it dry and then rubbed a candle all over(should've done a better job, I went TOO random, so the texture on the stone doesn't actually make sense) and then I added a darker wash. ronell
what do you mean by caves? real caves, like big holes in rock? must be an interesting place you live! and thanks for filling me in on the wax resist.... very interesting!

I love the contrast between these two subjects and your background is fabulous! Great work.
This statue is pretty cool! Great colours! I like his expression, too.
The necklace is really fabulous!
All of the above and that stone background is really so simple but so effective. Can you tell more about the necklace - it looks ceramic.

Good morning Ronell
As always a great piece. What a cute statue, and lovely necklace.
