I am a senior art and biology major from the College of Saint Benedict's and Saint John's University. I am writing this blog to keep a record of my creative thoughts and processes as I explore the painting medium. I hope this blog becomes a place of reflection and inspiration for myself and others interested!

Stage 3 Value Painting: Pears and Cherries
I spent more time refining the gradual and the not so gradual value changes of the fruit and cloth. To my surprise while doing this, I found it most difficult to capture the cherries waxy appearance. It may have been because although they did have a much more drastic value change, including some of the deepest blacks and the brightest whites, there were also some values in between that were sometimes difficult to spot or decipher. Finally, I went in with a finer brush and added the stems, again paying attention to light.
