Well I guess this is why we practice...to learn what doesn't work. First I set up the pears, did the quick sketch. Then changed my mind and built a shadow box to place them in. Should have gone with the original idea. I used gold ochre, alisarin crimson, chromium oxide green, black and white. I didn't like the chromium oxide so I shall strike it from my palette. The two pears look too much like a reflection!

Wine bottle & green apples

Starting to paint a little larger and spend more time, hopefully I will see improvement. Trying "Copal" oil painting medium...I like the feel, keeps the paint fluid, dries faster, and gives the painting more gloss...we'll see. 1.5 hrs.
