Scrubbed and Stippled
The same glass built from granular stippled paint on a coarse cloth, with a few decisive touches of near-white impasto at the rim.
How this was made
This piece began with a photograph and a written instruction. Both are kept, so the record is complete rather than flattering.
THE PROMPT AND THE SETTINGS
PROMPT
POSITIVE: Repaint this still life as a Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin oil painting, France c. 1760. A tall cut-glass tumbler of pale amber liquid with ice and two cucumber slices, standing on a stone slab on a coarse woven cloth. Build every object from thick, granular, scrubbed and stippled paint applied with a loaded stiff brush, so the surface reads as pure crumbly matter close up and resolves into perfect tactile solidity at a distance. Warm brown-grey ground, restrained palette of muted ochre, olive green, dull cream and soft grey. Soft diffused light from the left, gentle rather than theatrical. A few decisive touches of near-white impasto on the glass rim, the ice and the wet edge of the cucumber. Humble, quiet, unpretentious domestic subject; matte low-gloss oil surface, palpable weight and volume, aged varnish. NEGATIVE: (none)
