Painting Strawberries.


I'm teaching painting from my kitchen this semester.  So, I did a little demonstration painting today.

This is not it. 





I painted a still life of strawberries loosely based on this famous painting by Chardin.  Below are the steps I took to make it that I will share with my students.

The perils of painting at home.  This is Mickey, my studio assistant.  He's only a year old and still figuring things out.

    TBH I think your painting is better than Chardin. Yours suggests three-dimensionality better, and I like the background better (solid blocks of color vs mottled clouds)
