This is a very good rendering of a violin. I have painted violin and it's very difficult to do. I like how you used large patches of colours to construct the form. The cup is well painted too.
Hi Joel. It is absolutely lovely--perfectly portraying all the granfier of this fine instrument. I wish could play mine now. Actually I prefer the viola though I played both. But my left wrist is too arthritic and weak to play at all anymore. I feel so sad about it. It was a great joy. But your painting brings back some of that joy! Thank you. Adelle
Exceptional palette++....Are these modular acrylics?.... Thanks for all the kudos Joel, and mahalo to you for this one! Self taught, and now teaching.....you go!
