Oil painting lesson with Gregory Smith

I tried to fine-tuned a woodblock, without losing a sense of its big structure. 

Fred did a demo on bread. To make a hem look edible is a great challenge. A combination of warmth and cold, almost grey tone achieves that convincingly. 

Finally I did some work on background. 

Well, that’s it. I’ve learned a lot. 

4 sessions. 

Oil on panel. 16x20 in.
