The Still Life Challenge 2 ( step by step).

This is the final step. I made the painting larger...this one is 14x10 , I made the key higher and I added tulip blooms. You can find my book HERE and on Amazon.com

Here are the steps :

Step one establish the darkest patterns

Add midtones ...paint shapes not things . Look for connecting patterns.

Establish neutrals but don't go out of the mid-tones yet.

Almost there ..Now final washes and adjustments. Go!

OK good job. To see more of these and to learn to paint using this strategy , You can find my book HERE  and on Amazon.com .
