WDE Oil Painting - Cherries

This is another try at painting and completeing an oil painting in one sitting. This was 2 sittings, before and after lunch!
It took ages, 6hrs and 45 minutes.
Its 16 x 20 inch gessoed board and I am used to painting ATC size!
I enjoyed the challenge of painting it.

WDE Oil Painting - Amber.

Unusual for me to paint an oil painting in one sitting.
I was inspired by the Oil painters on WDE that finish thier paintings in the one sitting and thought I would try.
Although not a bad effort, no where near the standard set by the other members.
This is 6 x 9 on Oil painting paper. Took about 1hr 45mins.

The rose was very difficult, I had trouble with the background.
The alpacca was a bit easier 'cause he's so cute!!

WDE - Flower Vendor.

I decided to have a go at drawing this flower vendor image from this weeks WDE. First I drew him in black pen and used coloured pencil and second I painted him in acrylics. Both of these are ATCsize. THe second one is closer to the mark though.
