I used natural daylight for this set-up. I like the softer light quality, but I'm learning that I have to start early enough and have a large enough block of time to finish. This is the second time I've painted the jug, and it was still difficult. The reflections on the top are from the nearby window.

Well, my painting pendulum has swung in the opposite direction from the last post! Here we have a more classical arrangement with dramatic lighting. The jug came from Oak Glenn, where delicious apples are grown. It has a charming "less than perfect" hand made look, and it's deep color dictated a dark background so it could have those lovely lost edges.
