We have colour.
This session I left the background as it was, apart from darkening the shading to the lower right hand side of the jug and trying to reduce the size of the apple by going over it in the background shade. It's all a steep learning curve because you have to have the right colour (or else be able to mix it up pretty sharpish) to match last week's colours. However, the apple was still wet and so I have now smeared the edge and will have to repair it next week.
I got over-fiddly with the lemons but the ladle is coming on.
The pomegranate is too orangey and as for the cup on the left ... that is causing me a problem because it is tonally almost identical to the background.
I am learning so much with this painting: mainly, don't use so much white as it takes the longest time to dry, with yellow, of course.
Last class of the term next week.
