Juicy Strawberries – 29

Juicy Strawberries, 6x6in oil painting on chipboard with blue acrylic underpainting. Painted from life in my kitchen on a sunny May morning while listening to 70 over 70 with Michio Kaku

Ahhh. Fruit with a strong light from the side.

Once again, I am highly satisfied with this setup.

I am working on being precise with my brush strokes and am pleased to see the light coming through loud and clear on this one with minimal pre-mixing on my palette. It seems I am still improving!

Painting strong shadows like this is really fun… I might go for more in this style soon.

The composition here feels strong but YET again I have placed my intended focal point (the center of the lowest strawberry slice) in the center line of the painting. I don’t even notice this until I’ve finished! It works nonetheless… But I want to be more intentional about my focal points moving forward.
