I worked on the parts of the stem and all of the grapes, especially those I had left unfinished. I worked on the background as well. I layered color and then smoothed, lightened, and/or blended it with white. I layered color and used my fingers and/or a stump to blend. I kept shaping it until it was pleasing to my eyes. Towards the end I used lots of yellow both the warm and cool (spanish orange and yellow chartreuse). I will look at it over the next few days and make any adjustments as I see things that bother me (and not sure the top of the background is done yet). |
