next stage still life oilpainting

I worked at the background, I think it works well.
And I painted the first pear.
Still many layers of paint all over is needed.
Some of the colors need to be deepened, some to be lighter, some to be toned dow, some to be brighter, etc, etc.
And of course I need to paint the two other pears first.

I just finished in adding hair to the body. I still have to work on her face and she will get a beautiful longhaired tail.

next steps of the Old Masters technique paintings

Slowly, slowly is the progress, but it is a lot of work this technique.
In my previous posts you can see the steps I already have taken to get to this stage.
This is only the first layer of color.
Still a long way to go, many layers of color, many details to be added.
