Hello Dear Members,

I am Vartika Sinha from India. I am learning a lot from Mark's tutorials and you all. I am happy to share one of my recent paintings. This humble still life is set in a quiet town in Vietnam. Please do share your comments. Thanks a lot .

Very good work @vartikasinha.

I think the bottle pan and background are all done well but the teapot lets it down a little and looks too flat.

Im sure you could correct it easily as you managed the form well on the pan.

@MichaelD Thanks a lot for your feedback, let me do something about the kettle. Painting is all dried up, let me try to fix it. Do you have any tips on correcting seamlessly . Any insight will be helpful. Thanks

@vartikasinha, it may be just me that thinks that so you don’t have to do anything with it.

But if you are going to, look closer at your source. See how you have the brightest part of the pan at the middle (as is the bottle) and the sides are less so and have a little shade, this is not as apparent on the kettle.

It may be that the kettle is clay and so it would be more subtle than the other objects, so in that respect its not as out I think it is.

Looking again I see you do have a touch of that going on on the kettle and its maybe the lid that is making it look a little flat.

I would try just tackling the lid with some subtle changes and give it more form, observing your source closely.

Or you could just leave it as it is.
