White on black

Painting with light?

Wednesday 6th May 2015

Back into my studio today and a look at more everyday objects. I like black and white and no shades of grey, so the background matters, in this case black! The object was lit from lower left, with light directed at the appropriate angle to create the effect. The object itself was stainless steel, so light striking it was always going to give white. We sometimes use this at the breakfast table? Okay, you guessed. The toast rack!
