In this simple study of a pepper I show how to simply construct shape and form. It's all about seeing the big shapes first and working to smaller and smaller shapes.   Please comment with any questions. 

Colors: Ultramarine Blue, Alizarin Crimson, Burnt Sienna, Cadmium Red, Cadmium Lemon, and Titanium White.  

Medium: Linseed oil  

Surface: Oil primed linen

Still struggling with understanding "cool, and warm" and when to use them, but these little studies are awesome in helping absolute beginners like me. Thank you.

Please do a tutorial for people coming from acrylics and show how to manage the differences, like should I clean brush between colors or use two different brushes, how much thinner (gamsol) vs medium (walnut alkyd) to use and when, how layering works (i.e. if I let a color layer dry, then paint over it with new color, how does the fat over lean rule work) ... those are just the things that come to mind at the moment.

Thanks Chris - that was very helpful and corrected some of my misconceptions. I look forward to learning more.
