Committed to make progress

After Ned Mueller's workshop last weekend, I'm committed to make good progress on the still life and land scape painting. I don't have any other plan for this Easter weekend. Weather is not encouraging for yard/garden work either. Perfect weekend for painting in my studio.

I started putting the lightest and lighter values on canvas that would make the contrast with darker values clearer. Not too off so far. I might want to make the fruits lighter as well as the bottom cloth.

I'll update again later this weekend.
