Still Life Study

I am working on painting from life and in this case, I get to eat the set up (though the orange slices do dry out under the lights). Tomorrow, I may add a glass or reflective surface to the set up.

Artist Note: This is Qiang Huang's (which is also Richard Schmid's) palette. The transparent darks (mostly transparent red oxide and ultramarine blue) make a good distant background and are incorporated into the shadow colors.
