"GRAPE STUDY" 9" X 12" Pastel

Grapes make wonderful subjects for painting. There are so many skills to be practiced in rendering them. Shadows, lights,  reflected lights, transparency, warm/cool colors, value, shapes, edges, and many others - a whole painting course in one small bunch.

  3. Thank you, Jean. As my mentor you know it was you who taught me so many of the skiils needed to paint - a "forever debt" I can never repay.
