Establish transparent shadows and a clear value structure with Raw Umber. Build illuminated forms through grisaille while keeping selected parts of the foundation visible. Develop color with transparent, translucent, and opaque paint, balancing warm shadows and cooler halftones. Paint porcelain, glass, daisies, bread, eggs, and a stone tabletop, using brushwork and palette-knife accents to describe each material. Refine edges, textures, the background, and the final hierarchy of light.
