Can you tell that this is a small cocktail fork? These are also very small salad olives. I like the larger olives - especially the ones stuffed with blue cheese or jalapenos, or better yet, the Calamata type from the olive bar at the grocery store. I didn't have any of those... I guess I ate them, or they ended up in a Bloody Mary somewhere along the line. The good ones are always the first to go.
I actually tried painting this from a photo today, leaving my props set-up for an occasional referral. I'm glad I did because the olives dried up quickly and weren't as shiny. So besides being ordinary, they were also dull! ha!
Steps I took, below...
 |
| Step 1: Sketched it in, paying attention to value, and double checking composition. |
 |
| Step 2: Grabbed my greens and tried to catch the swirling motion in the silverware. |
 |
| Step 3: Filled in my color, making sure not to lose my drawing. Saved shadows and highlights until the end. |
