Grapes, Pear, and Lemon - A Daily Painting


Today seemed like the perfect day to try a larger, "fruitier" painting!


I combined my lemon, pear, and a few of those delicious green seedless grapes, while still trying to stay with a limited palette. With primarily yellows and browns, I completed this oil painting relatively quickly. Perhaps it went so smoothly because of the sketch and underpainting that I did in burnt umber prior to laying my colors down.


I think these colors work okay together in this 8" x 10" oil painting, but I am still not happy with my art photography. However, if "practice makes perfect", then I am on the right road, because I will continue to try different methods until I find a way that accurately depicts the colors and textures with little to no glare off of the canvas.


Thanks for looking.
