“Lemon and figs on a wooden box.”
This week I continued with still life painting; the weather was against plein air painting anyway.
I finished a bigger painting with a tea set, and for the weekly painting I have chosen a small still life with fruits. I worked by the sight size system, as I decided recently that for me this is the best system for getting the proportions right.
Still have some problems with the lighting, the lamps I have are to bright and not fully adjustable.
I hope I did a decent job, despite this.
I didn’t use any medium for the background and the box, only some turpentine and applied several layers of paint.
For the fruits, the figs were done with thick paint and for the lemon I used some De Mayerne medium.
So, this is my weekly painting, the quality of the photo is not very good, because the lights let me down.
