Another painting of a beautiful red pomegranate. this time in a darker set up then the previous one done against the sky blue background shining in the daylight. It is always much more trickier to arrange a set up with a dark background and to portrait an object three dimensional. It was interesting to set up a pomegranate in the dark as unlike apples or any other objects with glossier texture, pomegranate does not reflect the spot light as much. the skin of the fruit rather “absorbs” the light and spreads it across the surface changing the color from dark burgundy to bright yellow with matte, off-white highlights.
The painting is posted on Daily Paintworks with low start up bid. Please enjoy the painting and have a wonderful day!~
