Three Dishes of Sweetmeats and Chestnuts with Three Glasses on a Table

Lightly sketch the basic shapes and placement of the dishes, glasses, and food items.

Establish the background color and the overall lighting scheme.

Begin blocking in the main colors of each object, focusing on the larger shapes first.

Gradually build up the details, adding highlights and shadows to create depth and form.

Pay close attention to the textures of the different food items and dishes, using appropriate brushstrokes to replicate them.

Refine the edges of the objects and blend the colors to create a smooth, realistic finish.

Add the final details, such as the reflections in the glasses and the small pieces of food scattered on the table.

Make final adjustments to the colors and values to achieve a harmonious and balanced composition.
