This week, I used pieces of my old Erector Set as props for a painting. I placed the pieces directly on the painting surface and traced them. Then I painted, kind of like advanced coloring! The wheel is not perfect because it would actually be a slight ellipse from the viewer's angle. However, I bet most people won't notice. What I enjoy most about painting something that is meant to look like it is real is the application of shadows and highlights. The painting suddenly becomes 3D.
