Red

RED!

Red is actually my personal favorite color in paintings. I didn't know this until I realized almost every painting I've bought has prominant red in the composition.

Just the beginnings of this one. I did a little underpainting on the teapot. Some dark green under the shaded parts and some light peach and orange under the lightest to medium parts. Then I went over it with the appropriate red for that area: dk red over the shaded and scarlet over most of the rest.
