This time I decided to try the challenge suggested by Jen at
Rookiepainter. I intended to do a more free interpretation, but it was all new to me - the shiny surface of the creamer and the texture of the thread bobbins. So I ended up fiddling quite a bit and producing a much more realistic type of painting. In the end though it doesn't look too bad.

Not too bad... it's great! This is the photo I liked best because of the light on the creamer. The bobbins are fabulous!
Wow great job.... the pitcher and bobins, the color and light, great. I may try this challenge but i don't think i could do this great of the job. congrats!
The shining objects, great work!
I saw your cup of threads on the rookiepainter blog and came to see where you do your work! I would love to learn from you how you get that shiny look to the vase.
I just joined the other blog challenge and am in fact a rookie painter! So lots to learn from the likes of you and others. Happy to find your blog and will be looking around.
Hello Blaga. I'm asking Jen not to do any suggestions to you anymore:) Your painting is perfect!
No, it doesn't look bad at all Blaga. The shine on the saucer is really beautiful, and you can clearly see we are talking threads here, and I don't think thread bobbins are easy to paint. All in all a success!
Wow! I didn't expect such reaction! Thank you all for your very nice comments!
Judy, I was hesitating between this one and the second photo, with the interesting red reflection lines, but in the end the bright light spot won.
Thank you, Cathy! Just try it! I wasn't planning to post it, just decided to try. Usually things work better when I start with lower expectations :)
Thank you, Irina!
Lynn, you are very welcome to my blog! It sounds strange to me that someone would want to learn from me!? The phase where you are now is so exciting. Enjoy learning and keep painting!
Thank you very much, Renate!
Thank you, Jane! The thread bobbins did take the bulk of the fiddling. In the end they look like silk threads instead of cotton (if I can be thoroughly critical ;)
This is amazing! I can't believe the shine on this wonderful little creamer. And the thread....wow.
Great job, Blaga! The shining effect is simply fantastic. Ciao!
WOW ! I was going to comment on
your Red peonies, which in itself
in a wonderful painting, but i was
then blown away when i opened my
browser to see this fantastic work
of art. The other have pretty well
said it all, your art really
shines :)
Absolutely amazing ! Congrats !!!
Great job! I'm working on this challenge too! I love all the analogous thread colours. The grey of your pot is lovely.
Happy Painting.

J'adore, tu dessines et peints superbement bien :) mes compliments ! <3

I was amaized to see that water colors can produce the effect of shiny metal! The reflection from the surface of the creamer makes it look so realistic. I enjoyed the composition of the colorful bobbins in a metal creamer :) Great piece!
