I started today by putting darks on a wine bottle and shadows under these objects.
Then I tried to get purple cloth right, but it got too dark. I wasn't able to make it lighter, somehow it got muddy.
As always, Gtrg came to help me.
He put a bright red on it, then gradually put blue and white. It was a great demo.
I did more work on a basket and bread.
At the end of the class, he pointed out that my colours are all stale. That's a good point, and I'm very aware of that.
He looked at my palette and said I need to be bold and mix a large amount of fresh paint.
Yes, I hardly used them, and my paint mixes are very small and dead colour.
Maybe this is what I always feel lacking.
I'm looking forward to next week.
Work in progress. 16 x 20 in.
