In Progress Still Life

I've begun working on the first color pass. As you can see I'm painting in the cloth first. Simply because it was the furthest object in the background. I tend to paint background objects first and work forward so that I can layer on top of what has already been painted.

On another easel I have started a preliminary drawing for the next wave painting. I'm making good progress so far and should have something to post up soon. This one is going to be a challenge but I'm excited to give it a try.

Under Painting

Just wrapped up the monochromatic under painting. At this stage I'm not to concerned with value accuracy. I'm mostly trying to build form and refine any issues that I had with the drawing. After working some initial values into wine glass I realized that the stem was still off a bit. So I reworked the drawing from what I had originally. I think its accurate now, but that's what I said last time. We'll see.
