Thanking the members of WC for their feedback and replies.
Glad your still posting here. I see the "trick" with the shadow, nice. And you did a wonderful job demonstrating the forgiveness of the Fabriano paper.
I like that paper too.
I pose a question for you...I like your ballerina's...do you think you will ever do male compliments in shades of blue? That a buyer could have .... sort of a "modern version" of the famous "Pinky" and "Blue Boy" paintings....I would be interested in picking a male/female pair in print or greeting card form...

WOW Perguina this is AMAZING!!
THANK YOU so much for this WIP. Very well done and very thorough. The finished painting is just great, has wonderful texture, color and style.I've rated your thread.

I like that pumpkin; great thread. You seem to have a great sense of humor!

This is wonderful-thanks for showing.
I'm checking out Fabriano Artistico 140# right now, my first sheet. I agree about being more forgiving than Arches.
So far, I like it. I've heard great things about the 300#, which is next on my list.
Jerry Art Arama has it on sale until the end of the month.I really like your technique with this, the colors glow.

I love the beautiful detail and texture. I have only one suggestion - making the shadow closer to the pumpkin a bit darker.

Oh the texture is fantastic. I agree with adding a darker shadow. It will really stand out then.

Best from mike.

Yeah, I suppose it could use a darker area of shadow close to the pumpkin but, if you're worried about messing it up, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

More shadow would define it better , I agree .
Your color is perfect .I will have to get your recipe for it . Ours is just olive oil, oregano and chicken broth and light cream added at the end . Yum !Haven't had it in a long time . You are approaching Winter?? Spring for us , so No pumpkins til fall .

Great pumpkin painting Perugina!
Although I agree that a darker shadow closer to the pumpkin would be good ...I am listening to Mikes advice too....Pumpkin soup! My recipe is the same as June's. I have just made some! Delicious!
Cheers Sandy

Very cool and I think you've kicked it up a few notches too, you should be happy.
At this rate you'll be one of those fabled cyclonic winds from Oz.
More than the value of the shadow, I'm bothered by the bottom of it being parallel to the edge....to my eye it should go out of the picture a bit.
Keep up this new work, it's exciting!

Beautiful pumpkin and I love the background color you chose. The shadow comments are valid, but I agree that if you think you might ruin your lovely painting in trying to change it, I would just leave it as is.

love the title..and you did such a great job capturing the unique colors and textures!
