[219]

The colors started to get a little muddy. I think I could have also simplified the bottom of the glass quite a bit.

Things learned: Occlusion shadows under an object are not necessarily just outlining the bottom of the object, nor are they necessarily only on one side of an object. In this painting, the light is behind the object. Since it's so translucent, the darkest shadow patches are on the sides of the object

[80]

I'm trying out Guerrilla Painter's carton panels. I painted one layer of gesso on this panel. I'm really liking it so far. It stays perfectly stiff even though it's so thin. I just tape it to the back of a canvas panel and it works great. I do feel like I need to use a lot more medium though. My brush strokes end up feeling very dry, but I kind of like the effect.
