Gold Bell


The studio has been a hopping place but even the studio kitties have to take a little break every now and then.
 Elvis and Beethoven take a little nap.



I sit and think about where to put stuff while I clean the studio. Someday its feels like I just move it from one side to other.

The Cow


The Cow
The Cow, painting by Delilah Smith
About This Painting: This painting is a little larger then most of my watercolors.

 I painted it wet on wet in some areas to get a soft blend of hue. When I paint cows I always feel that the eyes are the important feature.

1. The eye is an orb shape and like a rain drop reflects light. You also have the cast shadow of the upper eye lid to think about.

 2 Always retain a highlight in the eye – it is what gives it life. Even if you can’t see one, include a highlight. Once you have your highlight, protect it. You could add some white paint later, but it will lack the luminosity of white paper.

3 An eye is an indication of character in an animal; all the emotions can be portrayed throough is wet and shiny. Achieve a realistic look by using strong tone.

 In many cases, the eye is the strongest part tonally of an animal.

 5 Paint the eye in the reference and not the eye you think you see. The danger is that you create a caricatured eye and, rather than a painting of an animal, you end up with a cartoon cow.

Yellow Flowers in a Vase painted in oils


Yellow Flowers by Delilah
Yellow Flowers by Delilah, painting by Delilah Smith
About This Painting: I had a collector Contact me about a small floral painting that I had done and asked if I had something larger like it. I didn't so I was inspired to paint another one larger. When I started to paint the inspiration was the smaller work but this one took in a life of it's own and really is nothing like the smaller one. I will try again in a few days. I really like the feel of this painting. It has lots of texture in it.
The smaller painting that I used to developer this idea is at the bottom of the page.

A Winter Day, Painting realistic snow


Winter Day
Winter Day, painting by Delilah Smith
About This Painting:

Painting realistic snow is always a challenge.

There is always a slight bit of subsurface scattering going on in snow, even on overcast days, this softens transitions between light and shadow and gives the snow a tinge of the hue from whatever local color is affecting it.

I am painting a warm morning sun coming up over the snow cover trees.

 Where the sunlight hits snow, it spreads out in almost in a prismatic effect, the shadow areas pick up the light of the sky color and reflections from sunlit areas. So you can see the warm orange tint that I have used in the lower area of the sky reflected in the snow.

 Because of all of these effects snow is never pure white except where you have a direct highlight from the sun. I personally try to avoid using pure white in winter painting s as much as possible.

When you are in a position to actually see the highlights, you quickly realize how much relatively darker the rest of the snow is even in the lit areas. 

We do not have snow here in Michigan yet but I feel it coming burrrrr.
