My oil painting progress (beginning of class may 24th, end of class may 24th, and june 3rd) didn't end up getting that far. My base color ended up being too dark because I originally was going to paint the Pellegrino bottle which is green, but I couldn't find another object to go with it so I ended up sharing a still life with Ada. The sketching wasn't too bad and I got it done quickly because the lemons were easy to draw, but the brunaille was difficult because, with the lighting and my base color, it did not show up on my canvas. I had to go straight to white and then grisaille on top of that. In between days we had to move out still life so the lemons moved slightly each time which messed up my piece a little bit. I never ended up getting to color which I'm slightly disappointed about because I wanted to see the effects of having an underpainting and how it helps with the values when it comes to adding the color. However, I really don't enjoy oil painting and I'm glad I didn't have to keep going. I liked it in the beginning but I felt like my painting was just going down hill

It wasn't going down hill!!!! You were doing a great job!!!! I am sorry that we didn't get to see this through - or at least a bit further.... Perhaps you'll pick back up with it at some point! Don't forget the main lesson re: values and color, which can be useful in other applications. Tag this post to to "progress."
