I had posted this painting on my Instagram account as 'Untitled' and hashtaged if anyone can give a name for it. User name '@vitarayne' who is also an artist, her paintings are beautiful by the way, suggested 'Tipsy' for this painting and I wanted to use it and happy with the title. Thank you Vita :)

I am paintingd all day and enjoying it. Stacked cups create interesting shapes and I like it. Getting propostions and perspective right are hard but I will keep try.

This is one of the paintings I have done last week. Painting white cups was the biggest challenge for me only a couple of months ago. But it's irony that I am enjoying to paint them these days.

Still no idea to name

I have been painting stacked cups last week. I painted five in total but decided to save only three of them and wiped the rest two off. These are two of them that I decided to save. I am posting these two together just because they are very similar looking in composition. I will post the last one later.

I recently had 'a ha' moment about painting white objects.  Painting white was very challenging for me. Whenever I painted white cups or plates, they turned muddy. I triple rinsed my brushes before mixing fresh grey(white) to avoid muddy colors but it didn't work. They still looked  mucky. 

 

Now I figured out why - It wasn't my brush. It was paint remained on the surface. I use brown paint (burnt umber) for drawing and then slightly wipe it out before putting colors. Then it leaves misty image that guides me to paint. And usually there is quite a bit of  paint left on a canvas.  Now I am thinking ' the slightly wiping' underdrawing wasn't enough! It needs to be rubbed roughly! So that there should be ultra, super, tiny amount of paint left. - just tiny bit of paint to see your drawing.  White can be mixed very easily with what is underneath. So that was the brown paint that made the overall looking of painting look muddy and cloudy.
