Vase of Purple and White Freesia (Oil Bar Painting Day 14)

Vase of Purple and White Freesia (Oil Bar Painting Day 14) Originally uploaded by randubnick

This morning I went to the studio at Red Brick and worked on this painting for an hour. First, I worked on the tablecloth, trying to even out the color while still showing highlights and shadows. The tablecloth still needs a little work, and I can already see some changes I want to make in the drapery. But I am happier with the color. I also added more purple tones to the brick, to add contrast with the tablecloth, and to add texture. I also added some white to some of the flowers and to the vase. There are some reflections in this photo because the painting was still wet when I took this picture. To be continued. . . .
