from the practice piece in a recent post I continued it as a study - I worked a lot with scumbling ( opakes lightly over dark) close to finished  - working the highlights a little more later - I maybe got the colors desaturated too much on the photo but blogger seems to display photoes more bright, we'll

so much now for abstracts - I think the abstract and paint boxing was good to begin to be more free in my work and here I am not so occupied with rendering everything but make some decisions on the way what should be there.

from a previous post, was not that happy with it, so went through it again almost like a repainting and this time I got better friend with the values.

Pitcher with lemon final

with this one I will wait a while as it conflicts with other priorities, I removed the addition as it was too problematic to make it not appear as this. I keep the stripe that I painted and then mount it on a whole piece of prober wood panel

the photo is not the best

thats the way it sometimes goes with painting,I decided to give it try to add a little more panel (masonite) I forgot it was not the same type so I had to add some stripes of paper to level up, what troubles. well at least it works ok what I have been through so if else the addition goes well with a slight more work on the lemon then I dont think there is more to do, if so it would be a smoothning of some high lights possible

taking a little round more with the lemon shape and the cast reflections, a bit tedious but not problematic so I think I have a photo sunday - well it got to a bit more with the ground plane the handle and the reflection in the pitcher to the left also the reddish part must be seen a little to the left as the lemon was rendered a bit smaller.


so finally it got there - some writing in the previous post
however can add that I repainted the lemon the lower part of the pitcher first removing all paint and to some degree the ground - after I took the photo I can see now I forgot to finish a bit of the shadow of the lemon
btw the three long reflections in the dark shape are from the easel

Lemon pitcher continued from april

I have done one more step on this one, where I keyed up (lighter color and values) working from a photo to define things better, think it is finished now, will see how it dries up for possible corrections then I poat a photo soon and maybe another little one in between. I had to make a little difficult choise as the part of the drawing with the handle was not corrrect so it is now bigger and cant remain within the frame edge. I have two photo of the setup that practically looks the same on a thumbnail and I came to confuse these two setups along the work which means that the lemon is placed farer away to left and there is a little changed viewing angle on the handle.

got a bit more confident with the reflections also defined the drawing better around a bit here and there, raise dthe chroma a bit on the lemon.
there just remains the line shadow under the pitcher, which is no problem, I just wait till it has dried, thought I post it now though

wild field detail study

I was  trying to get that straw color and to get an idea about the flowers so when it began to work I went to a little larger cropping to include some of the darker greens on top.
