Learn to paint pearls - a basic lesson in looking
Together ...Add a blue ceiling, some walls and a red table (this is roughly what the pearl would see if it could see). Next
we squeeze it into a round shape (with a computer this is easy, in a painting you would work backward.) I
am a little disappointed at this stage as it looks rather raw and nothing like a pearl. But, staring failure in the
eye, we must proceed (forever faithful to our logic).So lets us rid ourselves of the black edges. Then, since a pearl is not a perfect mirror, I will blur
everything ...http://www.geocities.com/~jlhagan/lessons/perl.htm (2 of 5)1/13/2004 3:55:10 AM
