Life is as good as the last painting session

The self-portrait was so much fun I felt obcsurely guilty.













The still life is still progressing we worked on our box and mug and drapery. The drapery was fun in that we could make it more or less detailed. Alizarin and orange and  blue made a lovely highlight. The background was darkened with the original color of dark blue and alizarin and orange.. The box was siena, chre with touch of cerulean  blue and white. The mug we used the two blues and a touch of orange and then we worked on the cup rim. It really is starting to looking 'finished'. Someone once said that 'a painting is never finished' if only that were true.... I always fell a little sad when I finish a painting because I will never do that painting a gain.
