Blue Bottle and Oranges....at last!

Here is my 3rd oil painting. Only 117 to go! Depicting the glass bottle was interesting. Still haven't got it ......but I am learning.



I found another excellent teacher on-line......Brian Simons at http://www.briansimons.com/. I love his style and he has a wonderful eBook available. I have downloaded it and read through it twice. This picture is not his teaching yet. But the next one will be. He spends most of the book attacking the mythologies of painting. He believes, and demonstrates, that anyone can paint. Then he explains his 7 steps to making a painting. They are truly simple and he explains them very clearly. Now....to put them into practice.
