Painting homework


Oh, this painting...sometimes things just don't start well. (the actual painting is brighter- the flash washed this out quite a bit)

This one is tough- at least I'm struggling with it. The colors are an interesting mix of saturated and muted. The large red lantern dominates, but I cant get it to do that. It's a good challenge for me.

I worked on it a bit this morning- I should have done some this weekend, but time got away from me.

I put in a bit of background and tried to give more dimension to the green cloth.

I think the lemons need work, for sure. The duct needs...something- I'm not sure yet. The lantern needs texture and some color tweaking. And I need to decide whether or not the orange in the bottom right corner is going to live there or not.
