Eggs in a bowl

Pushing Values.

Getting some more reds in the tablecloth has helped.

Adding Highlights and Darks

I'm getting happy about the bowl.  But this is the step everything starts to go downhill.  putting blush pink in the shadow of the tablecloth has to be a typo cuz it looks like crap! The eggs lost their farm fresh look .

Saturate and burnish.

The bowl is still coming along nicely. I've lost too many of my whites in the weave but I've fixed what I could of the blush pink in the shadow.

Finishing Touches
All in all this turned out better than I thought it was going to even though it took a lot longer than I anticipated. I'm not happy with the tablecloth weave and wish I would have been a little more carful with the oval of my eggs and some hard edges in their shadows but it's a learning experience.  Next I think I might steer away from my book and see if I can apply these techniques to an original project!
