Cook's Pears

        16x20
I could not resist trying to copy the painting on Cook's Magazine. The color palette in this painting is very limited which makes it a little easier for me. Mixing colors without making them muddy has been a big problem. I painted the same painting first in a 8x10  with a palette knife and it ended up being very successful. The lesson I learned was to keep the brushes clean and change brushes with every change of color used.

  3. Charlotte! I'm SO excited you're doing this! I love the red/yellow/black palette. Very dramatic.
