Very happy with this right now - turned out better than I thought it would. I planned to complete this in 5 hours, but it ended up taking 3 days. Had Quang Ho's "Painting the Still-Life" dvd playing in the background the whole time - keeping me company and feeding me good instruction. I doubt whether I would have achieved this painting without his guidance. Just been down to the opshop and bought a bag of goodies to continue practicing on - little bowls and vases and different fabrics - could just go down there and paint the shop it's such an amazing jumble of old odds and ends. I've noticed I'm seeing the landscape differently now too - ideas spilling over from this 3 day study.
