Oil Painting

I finally finished my oil painting of my still life. I originally wanted to do one that involved some intense fabric rolls and a magnifying glass, but I didn't want to blow myself away on the first painting. This is what I ended up doing, and it turned out fairly well. The setting includes a plaster cast of lips and a museum postcard featuring a painting entitled Silence by the French painter Odilon Redon. The assignment was to make a painting using a limited palette of warm and cool primary colors. It was a difficult project to face simply because of this limitation, but it was a good learning experience in the end.
