Awesome, I didn't expect to see something like this in FA :P

Bud's the dood.

Much for being diffent!

Stop making things I want! This is very cool indeed. I really like how you positioned the pink duck so that it's almost out of context.

You have cooler stuff laying around you :P
Get a robot and some other things and make a still life!
Thanks, mister

I've thought about it indeed but it all comes down to time...

Brilliant! :D

Hah! I love this!~

Never really encountered still life imagery that made me giggle. Well, not until now, that is.

best still life

The pink duck is peering into the darkest recesses of its own subconscious. I KNOW THIS.

ITS EATING THE DUCKY! NOOOOOOOO!

Most ridiculous still life I've ever seen. +Fav

"Rubber Ducky, you're the one..."

Super envy your texturing/coloring. damn..

The rendering on that teapot is pretty spectacular. Great Still life.

I wanna rub the Buddha and squeak the duckies.

Still life....one of those things at all artists ought to do at some point or another. That looks fantastic.

I am repeatedly amazed by the realistic combinations of texture and color you can pull off in your work.

Studies like this are probably why.

More life drawing = more artist...

Kinda like:

More organs = more human,

right?

Am I right? :3

I love the pink duck and the teapot. Such dialog between them! Composition has great balance too.

<3 Excellent as always.

Awesome Chris! Please tell me that after art school the desire to do still life comes back!

it's a great exercise whenever you feel stuck :) do you have any of yours online to share/show? i want to see!

All my new stuff is huge and needs to be photographed still. We're on a 10 week quarter system here and I had Drawing II in Jan-March and I just finished Life Drawing I last week.

I posted some of my old stuff from my last school, but the newer stuff is much better. Oh! I think I have a really good photo of my life drawing final, I'll go post that! :)

Quit making me enjoy realistic depiction so much

nice work, again, buddy! btw, I'm totally going to take some paining classes in the fall.

doo eet

If it's gouache, how come it's labeled CG? Hurr hurr. ^^

Oh this is nice and very creative. The designs on the pot are very well done, and i lvoe the backgorund. All the colors you used work so wonderful together. I like paintingsl iek this. I've never been much of a fan of stilllife, but when its as interesting as this, i can make exceptions.

This is so... avant-garde. XDDD

too good. must be destroyed...

beautiful work mr. i have a question about your acrylic under painting that you sometimes do. do colors still stain with the acrylic under painting or do they lift completely off?

?

I didn't use acrylic in this image.

I did however, use clear acrylic medium to seal the underdrawing.

I'm not sure what you mean by stain, but I've had no problem mixing media, one over the other.
They don't behave like each by itself, no. This just takes doing to learn the interactions, however.

with watercolors some colors like phthalocyanine blue or dioxazine violet dont lift up as easily. from what i understand its because of a small pigment size allows it to absorb more easily into the paper. i was wondering if the acrylic medium you use to seal the underdrawing acts as a form of buffer that allows all colors to be lifted off equally easily because the thin film of acrylic would prevent them from being absorbed into the paper.

This's so SMILE-INDUCING!! Buddha would definitely hang out with ducklings, real or rubber. Fine work on the "patina" sheen on the pot, and the reflection on the statuette's curves. FUNNESS!!!

I think that beautiful things must just generally fall out of you're hands when you move them.

I love gouache but it doesn't love me. Good job It came out wonderful.

Don't give up! If you torture it long enough, it will confess.

Lol so your saying if I threaten to take it outside whike it's raining it will listen to me?

Rubber duckies <3 Yay
