Still Life Painting

Back at it again. This is my first traditional painting in about three years, and I admit, that this was nearly frightening experience, but I felt I eventually pulled it off to the place where I wanted. Painted in acrylics, under Jeff Soto's intermediate painting course. The main I wanted to achieve was this reflection on the vase and the bowl.


The main I wanted to achieve was this reflection on the vase and the bowl.  But I should have enlarged the scale on the vase and bowl because I did not want to paint everything else, but I think everything went alright and it had a sense of environment. Also I managed not to kill it with phatlo blues and burnt umber mixture, which is BAD, use ultramarine blue to mix burnt umber, you'll get better results. TRUST ME.
