My first oil painting



Sadly, Saturday was my last painting class with Milo. I am hoping to continue working in this medium, since this was a first. The class was short, only five weeks long, so I’m surprised I even got this far. The painting still needs some finishing touches (glazing and scrubbing?), but knowing me, this will be as good as it gets. I was quite disappointed with final proportions of the creamer and if I was motivated, I would repaint it. Milo was quite impressed with my pine cone even though I really had no idea what I was doing. But overall it was a good experience. It was nice being back in the studio again making stuff and learning about color and light all over again.
