The contrast was increased on the drawing so you can see it better online. This painting is based on a photograph I took of my great grandmother's eggbasket
Here I've added the masking on the highlights through the basket, on the eggs and on the table. The background and the cloth have their first layer.
Starting the darks in the shadows, and shading on the eggs.
More shadows on the basket, especially in the weaving. Had to take a break and rest my eyes :) So far, so good.. even if it is an "adolescent" painting.
Why do you say "adolescent" painting? Enjoy looking at you blog. Vera
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn I posted, but it's not showing up for me. I just call it adolescent because it's about half-way done lol I don't usually like my paintings when they are in the "teenage" stage.
