"Dinner For One"...Something Different


Guess I was in a blue mood. I thought it would be cool to try a tonal painting, so I set about toning the background of this 8" x 8" canvas panel with a blue-green, fairly neutral color.

This one place dinner setting seemed to match the mood that I was going for, so I used primarily blues and whites to establish three dimension.

This was fun, but I think that adding a complementary color for shading might have made for a more interesting painting. Still, I think I achieved my goal in this tone study.

I will be back tomorrow with another daily painting. As always, comments and suggestions are encouraged.
