Georgia's turnip and carrots still life.

  Another lovely still life piece by Georgia. My favorite parts are the painting of the turnip

and the carrot greens.

  Here is Georgia's reference photo. A very classical feeling image.

A few notes in Photoshop:

1. as I noted above, I love the juicy painting on the turnip.

2. I might consider Going with a cooler background. It can support rather than compete with the neato copper mug/vase thing.

3. Notice in the photo that on general the mug is darker overall and the there is a lighter set up color and generally smaller highlights.

4. The rim of the mug is not uniformly light. It's lighter that what is below it but has a highlight in line with the others

5. Again, this may be personal preference but I like the wood color of the table top as a nice intermediate value and color set up for the primary objects in the painting. Here there is also a delineation of the top and side of the table top. By extending the top further forward the carrots won't appear to be floating.

6. Speaking of carrots... As we can see in the photo, the lights of the carrots are darker with smaller highlights that aren't as light as the those of the mug. Remind me to talk about that on our next zoom meeting if you'd like to know why. Georgia has done another really good piece here highlighted by the confident brushwork and paint handling.

   Finally an idea that I had about working from online tutorials. I'm not sure if any of you are painting with the video in real time, However, if you have a photo to work with from the session later, you all might consider just watching and absorbing the presentation and then painting your piece later rather than trying to paint with the video in real time.
