A good friend of mine and I are challenging each other in color and lighting practice (2D), so I thought I'd share the challenge here. Basically take the photo (2 top images) of this simple object and put it on your desktop and then paint in a separate window. No tracing or color picking allowed. It's an exercise in seeing and recreating what you see. The goal is to hopefully understand more about light and color. There are many more to come if this is successful that are much more complicated. Start simple and grow. Please try it and send me a message with your painting and I will be happy to give comments on it. Cheers! Happy painting!

Here's people who actually tried it out...

I remember doing this way back in the day. Too bad I don't have this picture anymore. I lost all my main work in a hard drive swipe.
