Artichoke and GarlicThis is a vegetable painting that will decorate your kitchen.

This painting was created for the painting classes, is a simple and charming painting for a person that is starting to paint and wants to learn vegetables colors and techniques.

Instructions:

  1. Start by drawing the artichoke and garlic, without details. Just position each element in the canvas.
  2. Once you are happy with each element composition, start drawing the details, artichoke pedals and garlic cloves, thinking about light and shade.
  3. The best media to do your under-paint is acrylics because they dry faster. The under paint is very important because you are continuing to draw with colors and defining light and shade in your final painting.
  4. Paint the background first.
  5. Enjoy finishing your painting. You can use acrylics or oils.

Supply

This painting can be done in 2 medias, Oil Paintings or Acrylics.

Acrylics:
There are many brands of acrylic paintings that I have tested but the one that I like the most is SOHO, Urban Artistic Acrylic: Excellent paintings, sold at more reasonable price by Jerry’s Arterama. 3060 Wake Forest Road, Raleigh, NC 27609. (919) 876-6610
