Challenge 11 - Pomegranate
At the end of each painting challenge I always feel very happy and excited. I am amazed how many artists stayed focused and dedicated their time to paint once again the last challenge at PADT. At the same time I almost can not wait to show the next painting challenge, which I am always hoping would be even more exciting to paint than the previous one.
One of the goals for our forum is also to learn from everyones' constructive feedbacks about our works. Of course, the variety of media and interpretations makes it increasingly difficult to comment and point out any areas for improvement.
It is very motivational and inspiring to see a comment on what is well done and we must support each other in our artistic journey. In any feedback we do well to highlight the best aspects of the artwork and what has appealed to us most. However, one of the "secret missions" PADT has is to help each other to grow and improve by pointing out areas for improvement as well. Hence I would like to ask for everyone's help in providing that part of the feedback as well. Think of "edges, lighting, mood, color harmony, aerial perspective, composition, ..." - all what makes or breaks the painting.
About the photo reference
Apart from the fact that it is one of the healthiest fruits on earth, the pomegranate has been very frequently found in still life paintings though the centuries. There is a very special gracious beauty in this fruit that cannot leave any artistic soul disinterested.
The fruit has been intentionally placed at the "eye level" which is an inspiring painting perspective. The light source is day light coming from the top left side, and there is reflected light on the right side as well. The composition speaks for itself and does not need any explanation. It is simple and beautiful. I hope you will enjoy painting it.
Please send a photo of your painting the latest by November 20. The next painting reference will be posted on Sunday November 21.

Challenge 10 -Lemons & Flower
About the photo reference
Here is another amazing play of light, shadows and reflections. There are too many to list, all caused by the single upper left sunlight coming through the window.
"As is" the photo reference looks a little busy. Consequently, your task in this challenge is to slightly simplify (probably background), and introduce mystery and desired emotions. The pot is made of arcopal, slightly transparent and milk white in color.
Please send a photo of your painting the latest by October 30. The next painting reference will be posted on Sunday October 31.
