June Painting Challenge



This month's painting challenge was a photo of a metallic vase or goblet and some cherries. It's on a very dark background and the goblet blends into the background, The cherries are reflected partially in the goblet.
I found this pretty simple to sketch and almost impossible to paint in watercolor. I had forgotten how difficult it is to get a really dark contrast using watercolor without doing a great deal of washes.
This is my attempt.


I think I will try in the new few days to try one in acrylic and see if I can do any better.
I need a change anyhow!!
