Re-using a reference photo, but highly cropped. The picture on the top is blurrier than it looks. Made for tricky painting, but I think I got there in the end.
This is an actual scene from a more rural house. I know it is a bit boring, but that is the point. I prefer less narrative over more in describing my own paintings
Wow! Just wow! Is this painted from life? I just purchased the Geneva paint. I didn't realize I would be having to learn how to use it. I like it alot. It is so fluid.
I have not used the Geneva paint. The last I looked they did not ship to the EU and I have been on a break from painting for four months and have not looked again. The paint I use dries to the touch overnight and gets very tacky at the end of a painting session.
When you are painting a shiny object like that tea kettle that has all those very distinct shapes, do you draw the shapes with pencil or are you just drawing the outside perimeter of the kettle and painting the shapes of color comprising the reflection free hand?
A clean edge between two objects or object and background gets a solid line. An edge between two related values or value and shadow shape gets a dashed line. A fading edge or lost edge gets a dotted line. A blended edge gets a row of open circles. A gradient area gets a row of parallel arrows.
These simple line symbols help me read a complex drawing.

Splendid work. Size (11x30?) A very faithful rendering, values and perspective perfect.
Well done!

So that's what I'm missing. Qork. Where's that catalog?

And - Thanks for the drawing tips above, @dencal
