Oil Painting Progress

Oil painting has proved to be a bit of a struggle, especially with doing the brunaille underpainting. I'm starting to getting the hang of it though, and I'm enjoying matching the colors. I actually really love the act of oil painting, but painting realistically is tough.

For this next week or so, I need to work on the shadows and darkening the cup. I've been painting very flat so far, and I need to account for the highlights and shadows not just in the brunaille, but also in the colors I mix.
