Process Post 3/1/24

Over the past week(s) I have been working on getting the general shapes of my still life.

This is the original first sketch of my objects. I chose a glass, a green apple, a toy story alien, and a fancy vase sort of pot thing.

Here is the first initial broad brush strokes of the painting where I attempted to get the general shapes and value of the painting. Already, I began to find problems getting the little alien (I would later remove it from the composition because I realized it didn't really contribute anything and was just a hindrance)
