VAA A11 matching color assignment

This was an exercise in matching values & colors. The source photo was taken by Viacheslav(paintmyphoto) ..I cropped it for the exercise. Need to be more careful with my drawing - bottle is wonky! I went too light on the grayscale painting (lower left), but I think I came closer on my color painting (right)..(lower right is my color painting in grayscale) could have gone with more saturated color for the oil in the bottle, and lower saturation for the far clementine. Any comments/critiques are most welcome as I am wanting to LEARN!!!

Comment by Lori Ippolito on June 7, 2015 at 9:39: Thanks Aurelia..Thx Rhonda! I'm taking forever on lessons in VAA! Hoping to do the outdoor color studies next. Rhonda I should go back and restart from the beginning to refresh my memory before I do the final painting for workshopA! But I'll never get to B then!! Lol-- I will give this a try with a lighter source photo & work at also going more quickly! I couldn't keep to the hour limit.

Comment by Rhonda Mann on June 7, 2015 at 7:05: Hi Lori, I am in VAA too. However, I have not been doing the work for a little bit. I loved this assignment I think it is a great practice. You did a good job the pic you started with is pretty dark. I like the lighter one better. Remember that the assignment is more about values. drawing not a important at this point but I think your drawing is good. Try another one that is lighter and see what the difference is.
