Well I thought I'd challenge myself to painting something other than silver that was highly reflective.
Not as challenging as I thought. It was the colour red that proved to be the challenge, especially since it takes longer to dry. And this was supposed to be a "daily small format" that actually needed 3 days to complete. Since the pigments tend to be somewhat transparent, it can be difficult to get the range of values figured out. But sometimes overthinking it is the real problem.
This year's ornaments are out and I will set up some more subject matter like this.
