Einer Arts - Terri Einer - "Frothy Mug"







I started by printing out a black and white version so I could interpret the image in my own color scheme and not be influenced by the colors in the photo.  Then I sketched a quick composition (image 1). I felt this simplicity of the subject needed some life, so rather than a plain white cup, selected a bold, bright palette.

Using acrylics on canvas, I  blocked in my scene. (image 2) and I followed that up with more detail (3rd image). I paint fast and wet, so I get lots of "happy accidents" when the wet paints touch each other. Once I am pleased with the colors I let it dry and finish with an india ink marker.  I think maybe I liked this one better before I added the black detail lines.  What's everyone else think?

    A masters work. Something cold and not so inviting was turned into cozy and warm ambience. You killed it plain and simple and I have no other words. High art. Congratulations Terri. I m glad I stumbled across your post.

    I think the black lines are good they give the painting a definition. I like the free and easy style you use and the colors are great.

    Love it! I definitely think the final addition of the black ink works really well and brings the whole thing together.

    At first I thought it the colors were a bit too much, but now I see the end result: wow! I am totally in love with it. What a great style!! I find it really beautiful. The black lines around it give it a perfect finishing touch. A super beautiful painting!!

    Thank you all for your kind comments. I know my style is a bit "out there" colorwise, so nice to know that others appreciate the bold, vivid colors, also!
