Here's the next phase of the Gala Basket. I've added the beginning stage of the cloth. I very carefully put the stripes in with mixtures of Alizron Crimson and Paynes Grey and Hookers Green and Paynes Grey. On the left side I painted around the stitches to leave the lighter color showing through. That is so much fun to see the "stitches" appear. It is one of the major differences in watercolors than in oils or acrylics. You leave your lights (at least most of the time) rather than painting them in on top of other values.
At this phase of the painting you can see it developing and you can see where it needs to go. I see that the apples are calling out for more color so that is where I'm going next.
