Red Reflection

Coloured pencil


Everyday Matters 293, something made of glass.
This red vase sits on a small table near the window.  Most afternoons the sun  shines directly on the vase for about an hour leaving a wonderful red reflection/shadow on the tablecloth.  I've often thought I need to draw or paint that, so here it is!

It's very beautiful! The way you handled the colors in it, the reflections on the glass and the colors in the shadow are just superb! nancy

As always, beautiful work. You did a great work on teh glass, which I still find a bit tricky to draw or paint. Love the colour!

I love the beautiful colors and the simple composition. You've captured the reflected shadows perfectly. It reminds me of a few of the beautiful things on my own window sill that some mornings capture the morning light in the most sublime way...and i think, wow..I need to paint that.
