Oil Painting lesson with Gregory Smith

Today I started by working more on vases at front. Again, a bad habit, I was fiddling. Greg did a small demo, using a body of paints. It suddenly became much more painterly. 

Then I lightened the table to give it a depth. 

And I spent the rest of the class working on the cast. I had a problem painting at navel area. There are some very subtle bumps in there. Again, Greg helped me a lot. and now it looks better. 

Work in progress.
