"Holes 2 - WIP"

I got busy today and forgot to post the information on the new painting I'm currently working on.  I also failed to capture the drawing on canvas before I got started... many apologies.  I was able to get quite a bit done today (so maybe you'll forgive me... :))  

"Holes 2"  is painted in a lighter value string than the first version of the "Holes" colander which can be found in my gallery (gipson-artist.com/gallery).  Holes (#1) is also currently being offered at the Xanadu Studio Gallery.

The Pitcher - Finished

This went a  little faster than I expected... probably because of the limited palette.  I changed the bottom a bit, added shadows to the right and highlights to the left and did a lot of blending...

"The Pitcher" - WIP #1

Here is the pitcher with the background and surrounding color laid in.  I started laying in color on the  pitcher itself too.  I'm using cool colors for the shadows (purple, mauve, and dark blues...).  I'm also noticing that for some reason the paint is slipping around on the canvas more than usual...
