Description When I started working on this subject, the pebbles looked like potatoes and I felt desperate! I told my teacher about it and she gave me some useful advice. After I worked some more on the painting, the potatoes became pebbles. Thank you, Homa!

I painted this in February, 2008

i still see potato, but im irish and hungry and you put ideas in my head.
thanks for posting how you 'improved' your work as you progressed. shadows are something i don't know anything about... 'light has a source?' but it's so essential even if realism is not your intention, it has such an impact on mood or atmosphere.

Gosh, first I thought it was a photo until I viewed the painting in high resolution and found out it's a painting. Very realistic! It must have been exhausting work studying stones, but the result is gorgeous.

I love how colorful this is! I thought stones immediately when I saw it, but after reading your comments I can imagine how they looked like potatoes once how did you fix it? What exactly was it that you ended up changing about it?

Masasasaki In reply to KD-Neeley [2009-03-24 02:37:22 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much for your kind comment! My instructor gave me some tips to fix my potatoes (lol) and I was fortunately could do it. The main thing she advised me was that I should use more colors than we can see on the surface of the pebbles. I put a lot of blue, mauve, orange and so on and they turned to be pebbles!
