Silver Teapot
Hi there, I really have a thing for teapots and if you have followed me for a while I bet you knew that. When I am antiquing or in a thrift store I am always drawn toward them but I really don't need anymore, lol This old silver teapot came from a antique shop and though it is a little dented I knew it would make a great prop. I think pears work well with any set up, my go to fruit, lol This is acrylic on a 8 x 10 stretched canvas.
Playing around with my new Golden Opens, I like that they don't dry as quickly so you can blend them however they aren't quite like oils. Oils are creamy and you tell these are water based. I just used them to paint a background in a still life, one of the things I struggle with using traditional acrylics. I'll keep using them and report back again before too long.
Check out my Ebay auctions
Have a wonderful day and thanks for visiting me.

Wow, Barbara! This is gorgeous, I love how you painted the reflected light and the reflections, even the teeny, bitty ones in the triangle on the lower left side of the teapot. If I ever decide to paint silver, I am coming here to study this first! Thank you for showing me what great paintings can be made with acrylics...
That is so sweet to read Meredith. I think the acrylics work especially great for detailed things like this. I'm not a patient painter and to get fine details with the oil you need to wait for them to dry and then come back over and over. My oils were mostly alla prima and very soft and loose. Maybe the acrylics suit me better???
