Lilacs in a Glass, Apple and Lemon

Lightly sketch the basic shapes and composition of the still life.

Block in the main areas of color: background, flowers, leaves, fruit, and glass.

Begin adding layers of color to the background, using short, broken brushstrokes.

Develop the form of the flowers by layering different shades of pink, purple, and white.

Paint the leaves with dark greens and blacks, paying attention to the shapes and edges.

Add details to the glass, using blues, purples, and whites to create a sense of transparency.

Paint the apple and lemon, focusing on their form and color variations.

Refine the details and add highlights and shadows to create depth and dimension.
