1st Attempt Trader Joe's Still life flowers, "Pink flowers."

Here is a still life of flowers I was practicing.  I actually really struggled with these flowers.  Like really struggled.  It's a 5X7, and I really needed to draw it out better.  It was great practice.  I was trying to follow techniques I watched in a youtube video, Alla Prima, and it just wasn't working.  I wasn't skillful enough for Alla Prima, which is layering really thick paint and using wet paint to move around and create what you want.  I just needed to paint it and not try a method like that.


The shapes of the flowers could have been much improved.  I think it's cute though.
