Hi Chris just joined beginners group how do I get all the videos?

Iris

Greetings, just did this lesson today. I found getting the table color reflections on the fruit especially difficult to not blend into the fruit color. Any suggestions? Thanks

Apple: good Pear: I impressed myself LEMON?! I think I swore the entire time I was painting it. The yellow is so transparent and I just STRUGGLED. Omg

My favorite part of painting is sculpting shadow and light into form! Don’t know for sure, but I toned my canvas with a light wash of acrylic first and my paint was a slippery mess. Used a pallet knife so my colors would go on clean. Maybe I used too much medium. I am a beginner and loved this tutorial - a very good challenge.

Hi Karen, I had this same issue toning with an acrylic paint. Acrylic paint is different to acrylic gesso. It will create a seal between the canvas and paint. This means the surface is slick and has no tooth for the paint to grab onto. Thinned oil paint works better. If you want a dark tone, just put it on the day before you paint.

Chris, Could you post more reference images of these plane fruit. They make a great exercise. Thanks in advance.

Great tutorial! I am still struggling with using medium. I use 2 parts linseed oil, 1 part stand oil and oms. It always turns into a slippery mess 🙁

Chris, you said you took a few pictures of these. Would you be willing to post them to the FB group? Also, would love instructions on how to make our own plane fruit.

I would also love to hear how you made those fruits. Would love to make my own for stilleben
