Flora

Last painting class with Jim Glover was this morning. He did a plein air piece as demo but the clouds came in so we went inside to paint. But its been a beautiful day since! The class was great. I'll be keeping up painting this summer by painting in my good friend's back yard once a week. Might start this week!

Still life 1 - complete

Complete for now. The right side of the mug needs to be darker in value to blend in with the small apple just a bit. I'd like for the background to be more saturated too. Any other critiques?


Still life 1

About fifteen minutes into it. Acrylic on board from life. Workingg from life was a rwal stretch on mixing colors. The white mug really threw me. In the end it held almost every color seen in the rest of the painting.
