Oil Painting lesson with Gregory Smith - Day 1

Today is the last session for this painting, and we'll have a two week break.

I did some details on a bottle, a small jar on the right, a pitcher on the left.
And I changed background colour on the left.

Greg told me that the jar now looks a bit too flat. He also lowered its highlights so that it looks more round.
It's amazing to see how things change dramatically by changing small details.
He did a few short demos during a lesson, and just watching him painting is really precious experience.

I'm still not sure about a cast, but, this is all I can do at the moment.

Work in progress. 16 x 20 in.
