Painting Technique:
My first painting in which I have used painting in layers. A real challenge for me because I had to wait until the previous layer is completely dry before the next.
I myself am very pleased with the result, particularly as to the colors of the background.
I have tried to approach the colors as well as possible by mixing colors. I found that the colors from the photo were not pure colors but "old" colors that I find very beautiful.
I have added the shadows because without the shadows it looked like the bowl and the cherries were hanging in the air. Now there is the idea that they are standing on something.
