This is a still life study from this semester. I have included some steps in there to show how I take it from one point to the next. I have learned a lot from this class. One thing that is weird is that this is a fine art course. I'm in the illustration program though. It's weird to me that I may be the only one in the course using oil paints. Everyone else is using acrylic. Now nothing is wrong with acrylic but I would think more fine art students would be interested in using oils given their majors.
This was painted with a limited pallet meaning I really only used black, white, terra rosa, and yellow ochre to paint this. I actually really like using a limited pallet like this. It really forces you to simplify what you see while trying to maintain accuracy.
