Sun Settings

“The elegant octagonal dining room took on new dimension with the setting sun pouring light across it thru the view-framing French doors.  The light made the place settings sparkle and the table cloth glow against the dark paneling and silhouetted chairs.  I was especially intrigued with the lace tablecloth.  Little did I know what I was in for in conveying it with watercolor!  Analyzing what is seen thru it – chair legs or seats, the table’s pedestal, the cloth on the other side of the table – was hard to keep track of.  Remember that in watercolor, you’re not painting the lace, but everything around it, not the threads, but all the holes in between.  It all takes a lot of concentration to keep the background continuous when you have to interrupt your brushstrokes every quarter inch. But when you step back and see whole, the illusion comes into focus and you forget all the labor involved.”

– Peter Ferber
