I started painting the basket. It’s so hard at this point to judge the correct colors! I just made my best guess, knowing that I’ll correct later. I decided not to paint the shadows in yet. I’ll use a dark glaze for those when this layer is dry. Unfortunately, leaving out the darks makes it even harder to judge the correct values for the other areas. So, it’s hard to judge both the colors and the values!
I jumped over to the bowl and added a green glaze over all of it. I then darkened a few areas.
Next, I very roughly painted the nest with a tone that will serve as the shadow areas underneath the twigs and grass.
I’ll leave it here for today!
