Week 2: Tones, Shading, Shadow, Highlight, Reflection and Texture                  Mary T



      Just for more practice in painting a container, I copied a blown glass vase from a museum brochure. Colors are approximate and the textures are nothing like the actual piece.

      The assignment for this week was to sketch and paint a fruit or vegetable. I sketched my model on paper first, and most of my lines were too light to scan but I got this much into my computer to paint:

My first version, done mostly on one layer, looked like this:

      I then attempted to correct the horizon, highlights, shadows, and to add more texture.
