Dear Kostas, I like the warm, almost glowing quality of your "hot coffee" painting (small hint: watch the ovals of cup, plate and pot and their perspective....:))

Glad you like my new painting, see also my new tryptic! See you are exploring still life, very good, you could add some light! Not white, but a very pale yellow/orange almost white, it will make this sparkle, I see light as color and never use white as light or black for shadows, for shadows try a little of the colors opposite Red-green, blue orange etc. Happy painting! The overall tones are all the same.

Kostas Koutsoukanidis

Thanks for your tips Janet. I'll try to follow them.
Thank you very much!

Artist Statement
for Kostas Koutsoukanidis

Greece

I'm new self taught artist. I was drawing and sketching from time to time since my childhood, but recently I decide to be more serious about it and try various styles and mediums. This site and all wonderful people I found here help me to move on and fulfill my lifetime dream; to be able to paint.
Any critique is always welcome.
