Oil Painting lesson with Gregory Smith

Well, this is the last session of the year.  I just can’t believe it, it’s been very quick.

I started reworking on the cloth on the table. It wasn’t right. Too dirty. It needed a clean and fresh tone. Greg told me that the table at front should be lighter than the one behind. It’s incredible. I didn’t see. That’s because it’s catching more light due to my viewpoint.  

Also, he told me the kettle needs more warmth, suggesting a mixture of Cad Lemmon and Alizarin. The latter is indeed great to give it warmth.  

I did some work on the green stuff on the right, the bottle and the big vase at front. 

We’ll come back to the studio at the end of January. In the meantime, I’ll be attending his summer school when I can. Looking forward to it. 

Work in progress. 16x20 in.
