Georgia's studies

Georgia has been doing some online tutorials. She's doing some lovely work and is learning a ton. She's shared a handful. I have just a note or two of things to consider for future paintings, keeping in mind that these are quick studies following another painters lead.

We'll start with this beauty. Just fantastic.

The only thing I might consider is maybe refining  the right side of the vase as shown below.

Another nice one.

There is a classic early 19th century back to the renaissance feel to the color.

I really like the marks and the varied color of the pitcher. My favorite part of the whole painting are the brushstrokes on the inside of the pitcher.


I might consider making the shape of the gold cloth a bit more definitive. Maybe cutting it back in the upper part to allow the leaves to pop, perhaps adding a few small leaves. On the bottom part I might consider describing the planes a little more.

Maybe add a little secondary highlight on the red side.

Perhaps the red light on the pear could be knocked back a tad.

A sweet study of apples. The have nice form and color.













 If there were one change I'd consider, it would  be to consider changing the color of the table top. The broken greenish tan sets the color of the apples up nicely.
I've also indicated a subtle reflection.

 A nice academic feeling study.

The only thing I might consider is knocking the glow down a little. The contrast actually gives more weight and volume to the onion.




Keep up the good work Georgia!
