Still life oil painting

(C) 2016 Dale DiMauro

This is the second oil painting I did at Qiang Huang's workshop at the Village Arts in Putney, Vermont. It has been a challenge painting in oil this time in part because I am following someone else's process. However, I figured I may improve greatly over these four days if I persevere. 

There are many inaccuracies such as in the perspective, development of values and the shape of the tin creamer, but I am beginning to embrace the greater use of color. 

Once home in the evening, I have continued to work on a watercolor I began last weekend of the mist lifting off the local river valley. Beneath the rising mist are the lingering fall colors of umbers and ochres.
