Taken ages to shade grapes and pear .. I am pleased with it as I haven’t tried to put a still life scene together .before . onwards and upwards

Wow, this is incredible!

Superb compo David! I am trying to figure out Art Set. Not easy. You are so good at it. Much respect to your art my friend!

thanks jab ..

Hi ya nimoum .. pleased you like it.. there’s only so many rivers , trees and sunsets one can do .. it takes a bit of getting used too but in essence is exactly the same principles as acrylic and oil with a bit more control on the blending.. I used to paint with my finger .. but bought an ipencil (!) I think that’s what it’s called .. that’s a game changer !! !happy painting to you

Very nice!

Fantastic

the grapes look phenomenal, they're making me hungry!

Thanks Lc ... enjoyed painting it ..

Thanks coldethel

Thanks Jeffth... time consuming painting grapes but pleased you like it.. gonna try another still life as this was my first still life composition. ... thinking and looking for something to have a go at..

Wonderful still life David!

Thanks Cronenberg89.. one of the few paintings I have dome that I like !! took ages

Your realism skills are simply amazing David! Beautiful work.

I love the results for the jug and the pear and everything else!

Beautiful David. This is created on the computer with 'painting software'? From what I read, the program is called Art Set on works on an Ipad. Is this correct?

So realistic, David. Top Level 👍🏼🇩🇪

Impressive. Well done!

Thanks indication ... fascinating learning how shading mimics light .. happy painting to you

Thanks Colin ... pleased you like it .. I enjoyed painting thsi one

Thanks Tony M .. yes I used Art Set 4 on my sons iPad for this one.. pleased you like it...

Thanks Drirk.. pleased you like it .. I enjoyed this one but took ages to paint

Thanks LittleFishy... pleased you like it .. happy painting to you

David hi, It looks beautiful! Was it set in front of you ? The photographic quality of the fruits against quite abstract background looks so interesting and gives food for thinking and seeing and switching between background and the main subjects. Maybe because the color of background is quite active? I am not sure, but i like it. I also like you have the reflected light from the table on the pear.
I am asking if this still live was in front of you - coz it seems that even color temperature is really well managed i think i am missing a bit of brown reflections in the white jar from the table and surroundings.
I really like that you selected only one source of light it adds a bit of drama and makes it more artistic.

Congrats with the first still life, you did awesome job. Please continue with more still lives because this one looks great!

Sorry sunny lady.. only just seen your comments.. no I used reference photos and pulled it together from those .. I agree about the reflected light on the jug .. had a quick go ate improving it see attached .. happy painting to you .. just uploaded some pears .. tried to make them look old .. not that successfully .. til the next one

sorry I didn't comment on background .. I spent literally no time on the back ground just mushed it in so to speak but I am pleased you like it
