Worked on Still Life 2. Except for tweaking and details, I could call this done. However, the red apples in the original photo I took of this setup are a much more brilliant red. As this dries over the next week I’ll look at the painting and decide if I want to repaint the red apples. After a painting dries for maybe a month it should be “oiled out”. There are many ways to do it but what it does is make the entire surface of the painting look the same. Areas of the painting sink which makes it look dry. The background will be helped by being “oiled out”. After many months of drying a painting should be varnished.
