Fearless Oil Painting: An Intuitive Approach to Color and Depth

<p>Excellent work, Brenna! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I'm really impressed with the nuances you picked up with the vase – not an easy thing to do. Regarding the cloth: you're so close! Take another look at the shadows cast on it by the pitcher, as well as the shadows behind the vase. These could be darker which will help add to the depth of your painting and also give the cloth weight. But these are small things, overall you achieved a lot. Great job!</p>

Thank you for the feedback!  I definitely will be revisiting cloth in the near future and focus on the full scale of values.

<p>Still life with pitcher, fruit and cloth. I enjoyed practicing edges with this one. I need to work on the cloth. I don&rsquo;t understand how to paint it convincingly yet.&nbsp;<img style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" src="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/8701614c4e0e5cc87586668192504798/b42a35b6.jpeg" alt="Still life - image 1 - student project" srcset="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=600,format=auto/uploads/project/8701614c4e0e5cc87586668192504798/b42a35b6.jpeg 600w, https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/8701614c4e0e5cc87586668192504798/b42a35b6.jpeg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw" loading="lazy"></p>
