DIY shadow box for still life painting

Image
I was thinking to buy a shadow box for painting and, I come out with an idea of making my own. I have some cardboard and white paper left from a box of posters I ordered last month and, I want to give some use to it. I design my own box. I know is not perfect but, definitely help me with my still life set up, to create some shadows and a clean background for my still lifes. I have attached the pictures where you can see the plan and how I constructed the box. Comments are welcome.

My latest painting

 Hello friends, Hope life find you well, I am doing good too.  Just want to share with you the painting I was working on lately. This is from a photograph of a couple of kids from my country PERU. I am sharing with you my process. Starting with the drawing of my subject on the canvas, the application of oil paint to the finished product.  I really miss traveling and sharing life with my family specially my mom that reached 90 years a few weeks ago. This new form of life gets us thinking about what really matters on life and thinking how we are going to survive this Pandemic.  Lots of people are dealing with mental health due to isolation. Especially the elders who need the attention, company and conversation. I hope this will pass soon and, we will be reunite again and enjoy life. While, I will be keep communicating and sharing my artwork with you. Stay safe and don't lose hope Hugs, Elisa
