Red Car



The design of the car could def be better but
I tried to focus on the cool desaturated car colors in the shadow and the warm saturated car colors in the sunlight. The widow is missing reflections too.

Mail Box




I used the ref to influence the direction of light but the final painting is a little bit of a cheat. I think the there should be more shadow side on the front of the mail box. I tried to remember that the highlights get more saturated and warm in the sun light. I moved the highlights towards the greenish blue. Maybe it was too subtle?

Fruits Part Duex


I used the same reference as the image below. I wanted to try the colors again.
I added the  bottle it was supposed to be metal not glass. This time I chose more shadow colors to fill in the fruits. I think the highlights could be punched up more though. 


(awesome revised painting by Goro Fujita)

fruits



I think the highlights could get more bright.
I skipped the metal cup altogether. Too many things to focus on.

Grey Pug





I think the highlights aren't saturated enough. I could have made the local color more saturated. I tried to focus on the bringing the local color back into the table leg and the dog highlights.
