I think this piece is pretty close to finished! I first started by fixing my mistake of pulling up the paint that was previously there. I went back in with another thick layer of the colors and tried to emphasize the different tones more. I especially went back into the leaves to try to make them slightly more defined. I do wish I had cadmium red light as I think that was the perfect berry red I was missing, but I tried to make do with a combination of normal cadmium red and cadmium yellow. One of the issues is when i tried to lighten the color, it turned pinkish and that did not match what I was seeing at all, so i had to make everything a little yellower. Then I went back in with a thicker layer of white to paint the background. I'm not sure if I want the shadows to fade out a little more because right no it's pretty black and white. I tried to put some highlights on the strawberries, but it's hard to do so without getting more detailed. I think I'm okay with the decision to not paint the seeds in order to not get distracted by details, but I feel like it may still be missing something.
