My wife suggested I break away from a flat horizontal perspective and try something different. She is usually rrrrrrrright. It makes taking progress pictures more difficult though. I need to remind myself that this is daily PRACTICE painting. Remember Peter.......try new things... develop confidence in paint.... enjoy the process!I begin to think too much about too many things. Just paint and enjoy it.
I'm trying hard to leave the shadow transparent and not bring any opaque paint in there. I have a very bad habit of killing shadows with opaque paints. That kills a painting faster than you can say "wha happened?"
Cornbread5"x7"
oil on canvas panel
Corn bread and coffee the ideal breakfast for sitting around the table on a lazy weekend. The arrangement of the butter knife looks like one of those warning labels. "NO CORNBREAD ALLOWED"!
Self Critique:
The cornbread looks and feels like cornbread. So I like that part. I struggled with the plate and I think I rushed to finish it. Patience is a quality to practice as much as daily painting technique.

This is an outstanding, little masterpiece.
Nice work.
Excellent Peter! To answer your question, I didn't set up that drawing. I just sat down in front of my wife and sketched away.
You sure have a nice range of style and subject matter in your work, plus I love your clever painting tips! JLC
