Daily Painting #26 – Tea and Lychee
(Click image for larger version)
Oil on gessoed matboard
Approximately 5 x 7 inches — 13 x 18 cm
I’ve always had a hard time painting porcelain — it seems I always make them too dark and too gray. I had to scrape off my first attempt on the teacups and teapot because my Mom said they looked like steel! Well, more practice should do it. I think subtle shadows are the key.
Thank you for visiting my blog. My name is Faith Te and I am a painter from the Philippine Islands.
On June 20, 2009, I began creating small-sized daily paintings as a way to learn more about oil paints as well as to improve speed and skill. I started this blog to record and showcase these daily oil paintings.

In addition, I also do realistic portraits using graphite and charcoal pencils. You may view my pencil drawings on my web site, Artistic Realism.
