28) Ice cube

Painting. Shadows and lights. 2009

Acrylic on board

When painting, an object look real when it has been given a proper use of shadows and lights. I forgot exactly what the assignment was for this piece, but i remember choosing an ice cube because, due to its transparency, the use of light and shadows is even more essential to make it look real.

I'm not a big fan of this painting because my aim was to make it look photo-realistic, and even though it doesn't look bad, it wasn't what i wanted it to be.
