Breadth #4

Our assignment for this Breadth was to render some interior space in our house. I chose my pantry and the Italian items in it (De Cecco pasta boxes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, etc.). I started with a brown underpainting and then worked up layers, going from loose to ultra-detailed. I even used markers to add some of the intricate lettering to cans and such. I feel that this one is ok as an exercise in still life and realism, yet nothing sets it apart or takes it to that next level of success in art...
