Vase of Purple and White Freesia (Oil Bar Painting Day 4)

Vase of Purple and White Freesia (Oil Bar Painting Day 4) Originally uploaded by randubnick

Today I went back to Red Brick to work on this painting for an hour. It is a rainy and gloomy day, and because I had no sunlight on the still life set up, I decided to just work on the background. I started by making the color of the wall darker. This isn't the final color, but at least I can start to see what will happen as the contrast with the flowers increases. I added pink to the table because there are pink tones in the red I am trying to make. Right now, this is not the final color, either, but for now it helps to have more color contrast between table and wall.
