Painting from life Grapes! - with process photos

Hi all, sharing with you a recent painting from life study of grapes. This was an interesting exercise in capturing the reflections of the light source on the different grapes. Although they all look similar they all have variations in purples, reds, oranges or even greys depending on where the light reached and also made it important in capturing the realism. I wanted them to appear almost as if you could pick them up from the paper and eat them.

Completed using acylics on paper over several hours.

The process from start to finish is shared below.

Thanks for stopping by and for all your support!
