Chiaroscuro Watermelon

 

Chiaroscuro Watermelon

4x6" oil on canvas panel.

Not for sale.

I bought a tube of the-color-we-do-not-speak-of recently (it's black). I know a lot of painters don't use it because it's quite lifeless on its own, but I've always been fascinated by it. This is my go at a classical style that's all about carving light out of darkness.
