Orange, Pear and Vase by Stephen Baker

Love the shine on the fruit and you have tackled the glass extremely well, with lovely highlights.

Lovely colours Stephen. Glass is fascinating to paint, I love doing it myself.

Excellent result Stephen. Nicely done.

Lovely painting.

Thank you for the encouraging comments. I'm looking forward to using oils more often from now on, as I found the extended drying times and the ability to blend colours more easily a revelation compared to acrylic. It definitely needs more planning to avoid over-working areas, but it's certainly a much more subtle medium.

Really good - I would never have guessed that it was your first oil painting. Well done Stephen.

Truly beautiful still life with lovely shiny fruit! Excellent first oil Stephen!

Really lovely painting and good job on the textures,.

If this is your first, I’d like to see more after you’ve had a practice. This is lovely and you certainly seem to have embraced oils, well done and keep up the medium.
