Thank you Mea for your lovely comment!


Maybe I overdid the glazing...yes, there should be  shadow on the side of the cup.


Goodluck with your shadow study...no doubt we will learn lots thru your journey! :)

What's not to like Louisa?  Looks good to me.  Nice reflections.

Louisa,

Love the translucent effect you have on the cup and saucer.

The inside of the cup looks so real with the way the espresso is sticking to the sides and the color variations on the surface of the liquid.

You did a great job of getting the spoon to look right under the cup handle.  Agree with Robin on the reflection.

I'm assuming the background is a pretty tablecloth - love how you blended the soft colors.

Uh, uh, hmmm, I cannot think of anything to improve.   See, it is better than you thought.

Louisa,

Thanks.  No need for the chocolates!  Just send good vibes that my paintings will come out as good as yours!

Zayn, Louisa. . . fantastic cups of espresso!! I can see that I am going to have my work cut out for me to keep up with you two. . . woohoo!! Perhaps a little espresso on the side to drink while I paint....eh?
I live to draw and paint, it a good thing that I don't have to draw and paint to live!
