Still Life Studies

Apple Study-2011 Media: Digital

In this painting I am trying to practice on my blending , lighting, and proportions. I really like the colors I used here. I think I might make a conceptual piece using these same colors.

Still Life: Pear and Bottle-2011 Media: Oils

This second painting is done in oil. I am fairly new to it. I do enjoy it very much but at the same time it can be frustrating. I have been getting a lot of help from my painting teacher, Patrick Lee. It is greatly helpful to see him paint and talk about his process and techniques. Though I have grasped some of the basic techniques when it comes down using oils and painting in general, it is still a very big challenge to put brush strokes down onto canvas and have the painting look convincible and aesthetic.
