Oil Painting lesson with Gregory Smith

The background was a bit patchy, it was caused by the inconsistency of oil in Ivory Black & Cad Red when applied. So, I painted it again to smooth it out. 

When I did it, Greg told me to lose unnecessary edges to push them backwards. 

The table was too light compared to background, so I lightened it a bit. 

The onions were still too cool, so I warmed them up with Burnt Sienna. 

I’ll do one more session. I’m learning a lot.
