I thought I would post a picture of my progress on this squash painting. If I would have thought of it sooner in the painting process, I could have shown how I started, which was on a dry toned board, sketching shapes lightly in with a small dry bristle brush and a small amount of burnt umber paint. I think the type of squash is a white acorn squash. The tomatoes are from a friends garden, they are "heirloom" tomatoes and have different shades of orange and red, and have a long shape. I have a few small details to finish on it, like the little tendrils on the stem end of the tomatoes. I hope I can get it finished and get a good picture of it today, tomorrow it will be raining, and I like to take my pictures outside in natural light. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for stopping by!
Hey, I'm painting an acorn squash right now too, except it's a dark blue-green one with stripes, and I've got red peppers around mine. I'm glad you posted, I had a problem with the ground color, and seeing yours helps.
