This is the painting after the lesson at wednesday the 7th of december. I have now made some improvements to the background and the table. I've also given the lamp its color and added some shadow to the ball. I am keeping in mind that i have to take the largest and darkest areas first and then the smaller and lighter ones. All I am missing now is finishing the shadow on the ball and modify the table and background colors because i think the grey-tones look to similar.

We are doing a grey tone picture in art class and this is my painting on November, 30. Even though it is not done you can see that it is starting to take shape. When we had a feedback session in class i got the following comments:

What does the painting look like?

Youssef: It looks like a room and a table.

Oakley: It looks like a lamp with a light beam.

What do you like about the painting?

Oakley: I like that the lamp stands out from the rest of the picture.

(me: I am actually supposed to paint the lamp darker than its surroundings to make it look like it is in front of the other objects. This was only a coincidence.)

What could be improved in the painting?

Jon Sondre: Maybe a visible beam from the lamp?

Questions

Mr. Roman: What greys are you going to use on the lamp?

Answer: I am going to use a bit darker grey on the lamp than on the table and background.
