More Winter Berries - Daily Study #4 by Pamela Blaies

Oranges and Indian Hawthorn

8" x 10"

oil

The days are crazy lately, but I am enjoying my little daily studies. I found these beautiful blue berries all over my indian hawthorn bushes, so I clipped some to bring inside to paint. Using transparent washes that leave some of the toned canvas showing through gives an interesting effect when used in conjunction with impasto texture in the oranges and berries.

Stocking Stuffers - Daily Study #3 by Pamela Blaies

Comparing Apples to Oranges

10" x 8"

For this little painting, I dug around my fridge to find models. I used a stiff brush for the shadows and the highlights on the table, which let some of the toned canvas show through, giving a textured, transparent look.  Then I used a knife for most of the lighted areas of the fruit.
