Alla Prima Practice.

Wow! I think it's great. Pushing yourself to do something difficult can bring surprising results!

Very impressive Denise; well done.

This is really lovely Denise. Far better than painting a pear! Sometimes we have to paint what we see, feel or imagine rather than having a set theme to do. The bird and cup are beautiful. The reflective qualities of the cup are superb.

Great cup and reflections Denise, much more fun than a pear!

I think it's brilliant and you've achieved a lot in one sitting and what an interesting painting too

This is a really good painting love the reflections in the cup and saucer

Superb cup with reflections Denise.

Love how you have used the dark background to bring out the beauty of the objects you have painted so skilfully Denise.

Thanks very much Sarah, Karen, Spencer, Tessa, Heather, Anne, Christine and Carole.

Never mind the pear, this is lovely Denise

Another good 'un, Denise. You've painted the metal cup beautifully.

Really good result, Denise!

Much appreciated Cheryl, Lewis, Skylar and Linda.

I really like the way you have painted the silver cup and saucer Denise.

Thanks, Anne, Anne and David.
