FALLEN POMEGRANATE, PART 4



At this point, I have enough information on the leaves to be able to leave them for awhile. I decide to work on the pomegranate itself so it was just a case of laying on washes of color, then glazing over those when they were dry. After a few rounds of this, I felt I was getting close so left that for awhile and started deepening some of the shadow areas. I often work like this - that is trying to get an all-over feel as I find it better to bring things together as a whole rather than completing one section then going on to the next one. Doing it this way seems to be easier for me, especially as to how the painting is developing.
Most of the left side of the work has been completed in the pic above (at least as far as the values are concerned). Next I'll bring the right side up to the same level as the left then add more color.
