More still life practise







Picture of tea pot and bananas on primed paper in oil in one sitting in art class. Also still life of vase with apples, the first an underpainting in oil on canvas which is going on to dry and the other oil applied in one sitting with small pallette knife. Underpainting included lots of removal of layers of paint while wet to acheive shading.

Still life




Back in the studio attempting to get back into painting with an oil of some rudbeckias and monstera. Side light from window and acrylic underpainting on canvas with layers of oil paint on top.
