2/12/12 still lifes in progress

 

Here are my early steps in a  still life painting. . (No, I don't copy the photo. I work from direct observation when doing this sort of work. I'm just showing the source)  I do a quick figuring out on canvas with charcoal, then lose that when I put a wash of a neutral oil paint color down and wipe out the lights and intensify the darks.  Then the first color marks, a little heavy handed- but I can go for more subtlety later. The triptych is 3 wood panels of 3"x4" and the larger composition is 8" square canvas.
