My work from the end of the week:

Consider color story, numbers while grouping objects and arranging still life setup.

Use L frames and sight size to determine canvas dimensions.

Draw with HB pencil on paper, then transfer drawing to canvas.

Begin with a first layer color wash.

For second and final layer, begin with shadow then work to the light,modelling and finishing as you go.
