Last week, I worked on a still life with delicious deep red cherries. The glazing technique I wanted to use for the brilliance of the red pieces of fruit did not allow me to finish this painting very quickly. An 'Alla Prima' study of a few cherries however, helped me preserve their looks. When the real still life set-up was looking far from mouth-watering and I finally had to saccrifice them in the name of art, I was able to finish this studio-piece with the help of the little study on paper.
(P.S. The studio painting entitled "Cherished" sold last weekend!)
