This strawberry painting has given me trouble these last two weeks. It started off promising enough, but quickly went down hill. I painted over the first version and I’m still not very thrilled about it. The perspective is slightly better, but that is pretty much it.
I would like to warm up the background as well as the blue dish. I tried to warm up the blue dish in the first try, but it went too green. I should have just left out that corner in the background. It looks really off and confusing. I think I’m also going to try to refine this painting a bit too. It just looks sloppy as it is. But to be honest, I don’t think I’m going to do any of that. I’m probably going to scrap the whole thing. I don’t give up on paintings very often, but sometimes they just don’t work. And this one isn’t working.
