RE: My Latest Still Life Painting (“The Impostor”) and Its Development.
I really like how real and soft this painting is @jameszenartist :) the eggs look very inviting and i like the shine on the black bowl and white container. What is the middle orange/brown thing in the bowl of eggs? Is it a brown egg? I like how you gave details to the pepper dispenser too and the toy egg looks like humpty dumpty hehe. Did you use paint only to colour? I like how the colours and shading turned out. And may I ask, how does a wipeout work to prep for the painting? Thank you again for sharing your work with us. Sorry for the many questions :)

Thank you @marblely :) There's no need to apologize. The orange is the reflected light bouncing around. And the toy egg is actually something I found in one of my niece's many mountains of toys. And what do you mean by color? Because the whole thing is done with oils.
And to answer your last question, the wipeout technique is one of the oldest and quickest methods in which to establish the prameters of value throughout the painting. This way when you actually begin to paint you're not having to second guess on how light or dark something is.
