last project at the atelier I went to. I had to buy quite a few pumpkins for this painting.
initial marks. making sure everything will fit on to the canvas.
drawing stage using color, not lines. concentrating on the symmetry of the vase.
quickly painted the movement of tone for each object.
adding details; the patterns on vase, leaves, background things.
ready for the final pass to bring each object to a finish.
finish! note; the variety of textures explored through out the painting.
