A little macabre, I know.
My approach to glass and ceramics is to pay close attention to highlights and refections. I also wanted to capture the difference in texture between the velvet lining and the glass of the eye. I painted the box with watercolors, using ochre and grey with a little bit of white gouache, then let it dry, and did the eyeball all in gouache. Oh, and I didn’t do any actual drawing, just used two sable brushes, #7 & 4.
Here’s looking at you, kid.

The texture is excellent. The lining of the lid box has the look of old silk. The eyeball isn’t bad either.;) Thanks for the always awesome things you share.

So good this time! Wow.
I also your very creative way to cope the EDM challenges: it’s always something “out of the path” and I love it!

Love your story about the eyeball. I would’ve been looking to see which one, too. Great painting.

Macabre? How about downright creepy? But the artwork is SO good.

When I visualized something china or ceramic I certainly was not expecting this. What a twist of events this has been.

Lovely work! I’m supposed to getting my partner a glass eye on eBay, but he wants a vintage hand-glass-blown one.
