I did these onions in three different paintings. I needed the practice which is always ongoing. This one started with a blue ground mixed with liquin. I painted into this with some wiping away for the highlights.
I originally bought these red onions to paint them but as you can see that was a while back. Now they won't work for cooking but they still make a great painting subject.

LOVE THIS! you nailed the exact color of those onions and your light on them is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI always leave mine to sprout. That is when they interest me too. Looking forward to seeing the other two.
