At the class on Wednesday, we focused on the banana. When I say "we", I really mean Des. He did most of the hard work this week, while I happily watched the banana take shape. He gave it a three-dimensional feel, shaping it carefully, then adding shading to the various planes. Very nice. I went back over it myself, to try and learn something from the experience, but I went a bit heavy on the yellow-green, so there is a bit too much contrast now. He even mixed some of the shadow blue-grey for me. I would have been quite happy to do this myself, but Des got a bit carried away I think. I'll ask him to co-sign the painting when it's finished!
