shallots on a plate

 
Painted this 8 x 10" on a panel with a slicker surface than I like. I felt like I was pushing paint around. When I paint still life I typically use linen canvases because I like a little grip. I also think the linen texture adds interest.
Have a good day and WAR EAGLE!

  2. I don't like slick surfaces, either. I feel like the paint won't stay where I put it--it slides around.

  3. Carol,
    Really nice colors here. The shallots really pop against the blue.
    I tried some speedball gessoed panels and it was like painting on glass...I like a little grip also- I call it teeth:)
    Stay warm- guess I can paint some snow today! 9 inches in places.
