This reference photo came from another online lesson at PaintCoach’s Patreon site. I’ve also included a work-in-progress photo, and a photo of my final work.

The most glaring mistakes are that I didn’t get the relationships between the blocks right, especially the yellow pyramid, and I don’t have a shadow for the yellow pyramid! (I could add one, but I want to move on.)

Then there is the issue of color. I didn’t want the super-dark background, but the red sphere is too brown, as is the olive-green square. And in the photo the blue cylinder looks more square in the photo of my painting than it does in real life. Sigh.

Will need to do this exercise again sometime.
