RE: Color and Light : Banana Study by @ezunjoshy
I deeply appreciate this and apologize for not responding sooner, I was caught up in a program.
Thanks for the critique, the pointers are duly noted.
Would you advice I try them out doing the memory study or I just pick another subject?
Hi @ezunjoshy, next time you are painting up a subject I think these are the few things you might want to look out for. It might be helpful to paint up another banana or two just to solidify your process. Part of the trouble with painting anything is getting lost in the details so having a process or a list of essentials is super helpful to keep in mind.
For me, at least with a subject like this, it is: Base color, shadow side, light side, background and cast shadow, highlights and bounced lights, last details and smoothing... finish!
Getting a routine down will come with more practice and once you've gotten super used to it painting will be way faster and more fun/experimental. Even after painting for over 10 years I still find value in doing studies like these.
Okay, I'll keep that in mind and make another.
Thanks for taking time to put me through.
