Nuts

'Nuts' - A4 fine art print.

....so many things in this still life make me want to try to paint them....nuts with amazingly different shapes and patterns....a range of remarkable textures....nuts with a glowing sheen and nuts with soft matt surfaces....each with a sense of three-dimensions....a full range of tones from the intense dark of brazil nuts to the glowing highlights on hazelnuts....an array of smooth gradated tones....warm soft colours....soft shadows....balanced positive and negative space (areas to be painted and white space in between)....an aesthetic arrangement....
