Oil Painting lesson with Gregory Smith

I started a new painting today. I rummaged through a storage and put together some metallic objects. 

Greg had this great idea of displaying them like stairs. I liked it a lot. 

As usual, after initial wash with Raw Umber, I used a rag to plot highlights here and there. I had to keep telling myself not to draw. Then I put some colours. 

I think it’s a good start.
