A little red onion, all by itself in my fridge. I hate to cook, so this is probably left over from efforts a couple of weeks ago. I decided to do a study of it today. A study seems to make more sense than a complete still-life composition. I'll tackle this again from a different angle, get to know it a bit better. I'm really pleased with the highlight and the shine. But how on earth to get the shadows and other parts to look smooth?

Oh, yes, this is definitely wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLovely colors! Your shading is wonderful. You have certainly created a very beautiful onion study.
ReplyDeleteYou can make it smooth by burnishing - either with a white pencil or a specially made blender, but personally I like the texture.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on this.
