Ok so this week I tried to add more value to the strawberries and their shadows and paint the leaves. I tried to do it in one sitting which went pretty well, but then I tried to add a layer of bright red today which led to me taking off the darker value underneath of the front strawberry which was frustrating. I think for my next step, I'm going to have to block out an hour to put finishing touches on them, because then I can apply enough paint to not have the color be removed Also, in the video, the artist goes back in with a thick layer of white which I want to try too. According to Coach, red paint dries really slowly so that's why the glazing technique didn't work. i also haven't played around with the linseed oil yet, but I might try it on the shadows. I would like to make them a little lighter at the edge and add some more red to accentuate the reflecting light off of the strawberries.
