Shapes in Art & My Still Life Painting
I am currently working on this still life painting. I wish to discuss shape. Shape is an area enclosed by a line or values. It is considered best to have an odd number of shapes. In my painting, I had planned to paint a third orange at the left side of the vase. My design is close to the picture plane and I felt this addition would not work. Shapes should also be unified. My positive shapes are circular and oval. Negative shapes are the background (back wall and table). I am using 2 pairs of complements; orange and blue, green and red. I plan to darken and dull the bottom 2 leaves and soften edges of the flower.
